How lucky is that?
I have an HP printer that pretty much does not work well with anything. It does however, work surprisingly well with my MAC running boot-camp. This system really does work great - your MAC essentially becomes a PC with a few minor differences (mostly related to your keyboard).
Running bootcamp does have two shortfalls as I see it:
Inconvenience - I often have to reboot from a MAC to a PC to run some MIL programs and this will often require me to not only reboot but also to log in again on a wireless network - all of which can turn a 30 second task into a 10 minute penalty.
Cost - You have to have a copy of windows to install.
Once running the systems will run windows as good if not better than most windows machines.
