No, I can't print a test page from the Raspberry Pi I'm using. Slow/experimental Gutenprint drivers? Also, I don't want to by a modern printer because I don't really want to pay more than US$70-80.

Edit: A black and white printer (with greyscale picture dithering like the StyleWriter II) is OK. Light (<10kg/20lb) is also good.

So far the best suggestion is a StyleWriter II. A new laser printer is too costly and an old one is too heavy.

Black and white and colour are both fine!

For B/W & GreyScale, the StyleWriter II would be good.

Check up on this, but I believe HP Printer Support on Mac goes to Pre-OSX system. Just go through the HP Printer Drivers to check. Check the other manufacturers as well.

Here in the NYC/USA area I seen Printers for under $70 BUT the starter cartridge is only enough for less then 100 printed pages and a new cartridge for the printer costs more than the damn printer itself! So they get you either way! I seen a Canon and an Epson all in ones at K-Mart go for under $80, but their cartridges going for a lot more!

Emulating a Mac with an R-Pi? I would like to do that one day. But I do know that you lose a few things when emulating a system, like direct printing. You can still print, but it takes some work.

- One way is to have the printer shared on a real mac and then have the emulated Mac connect to the printer through the other Mac through the network. But sometimes I hear, networking is lost on emulation.

- Another way is have a .pdf file creator and create a .pdf of the document and then take the file to the other Mac to be printed. But then again, you can do the same with saving the file and swapping it to the other Mac.
