[Ham-Mac] OT - My mac won't print

[Bob Nielsen]

The first printer is a HP Laserjet 1020.  I had to use Google to find  
a Mac driver (older 1022 driver) which would work.  The other printer  
is a Samsung ML-2510 laser, which came with an OS X driver.  These  
are both low priced ($100 on sale) "dumb" printers in which the  
computer does much of the work (not PCL).

Both of the printers are working fine after completely removing the  
drivers and reinstalling.
