| markeno's Full Review: Hewlett Packard OfficeJet d145 InkJet Printer |
Do not buy this printer if you are running OSX! Ever since I bought an iBook to use with this printer it has been nothing but problems. First off I did the "Switch" from XP to Mac making sure that this printer was compatible with my new iBook. I could not print for 2 months since there was no printer driver for it. When HP finally created a driver it was lame. Print speed was dismally slower than XP, I'd say 10x slower and all of the communication stuff like faxing was messed up. Well it's now 2 years later and this otherwise fine piece of hardware has gimp'd along sporadically. I even tried using Gimp print drivers to make it work but it only infuriated me more thinking that I shelled out $500 bucks for a royal pain in the butt. Basically HP lied in saying that this was "compatible" with OSX. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE A MACINTOSH.
