Well, after getting used to my shiny new laptop, I thought, why don’t I print something?  So.. I plugged my shiny new computer to my printer and discovered that my cheap-o printer, which I got on sale at Wal-Mart, does not work with Mac OS!

SO! I tried to find drivers.. but it still doesn’t work.  This printer will not work with a mac.  This Lexmark X3430 will not work with Mac!  There are no drivers!  No solutions… well.. maybe that might not be true.  I think that since it works with Windows, I can still use Windows on this mac.. I can use Boot Camp.  I just have to install the drivers for the wireless network so it will work with the Windows partition.  (Or at least that’s what I read.)  Unfortunately because I cannot print, I can’t print out the instructions and have them readily available.

Alternatively, I guess I can just buy a new printer.. but why when I went through all the trouble getting that thing to work in the first place?  And wouldn’t you know it:  My previous printer, which I left out for someone to adopt, would have probably worked with this computer.  So much for that.
