It's almost universal knowledge here that nearly all (or maybe just all) Apple printers are based upon or are simply rebadged Canon and Hewlett-Packard printers. Recently I watched this Youtube video of a Personal Laserwriter 300 in action:
When I first watched that video, I remarked at how similar in size and form factor the 300 was to the HP Laserjet 4L/mL series of printers. Then I listened to the video as my own 4L printed. They sound nearly identical. Considering that they DO use the same print engine, they probably even use the same cartridge.
I find it funny though that Apple would choose the 4L to be the progenitor of the 300, considering HP was already selling a Mac friendly version of the 4L, the 4mL.
