Apple marketing Bullshit
http://www.apple.com/getamac/drivers.html
they REALLY need to advise to look for “mac compatability”, at least (or particularly) on printers.
Even most mac-compatible printers I’ve worked with had something fucked up about their driver. e.g. My current Brother setup utility will only detect the printer when only one network interface is present.
Some MFD devices work fine as printers, but not scanners. Lexmark are terrible offenders - even when they do work on OS X, it’s usually thanks to some bug-ridden driver supplied by the manufacturer’s website (because nobody in their right mind would use the one supplied on CD!)
Their other reasons (on the RHS) are valid, but I do wonder how many people, even Mac users, really use all that multimedia software. Maybe kids these days are being taught skills we weren’t! Still, I bet I could outrun them in an Apple // typing speed contest… ah, the good old days ![]()
