I have an iMac and I made the decision to buy a HP 697C Deck Jet because I previously had an HP but that turned out to be a horrible mistake. What I got was a PC printer with an adapter cable for the iMac that is slow as cold molassess. I read an article in the Mac Addict magazine that criticized that model of HP. I bought to save a few bucks and I feel that I got screwed good and proper. Believe me, the best purchase would have been the Epson.
Don't but the HP for your iMac like I did because you will regret it as much as I did!
