Hp printer works flawlessly with my power mac g3. It installs quickly and runs reliably in both win98 and winxp. I'm still not certain what happened, and reinstalling the software immediately took care of the problem. All in windows xp.

    Its not terribly fast but i dont need a fast printer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Printing anything on photo paper requires me to take all paper out of the tray and physically push a single piece of photo paper so the printer can grab a hold of it
