Hi everyone...just signed up today.
I recently have swapped from PC to Mac and, as Editor/Budding Designer producing a tabloid newspaper, I can't believe I took so long to finally buy a Mac -- G4 dual (from a friend...journos are always broke!!).
I'm soon moving to smalltown living, trying a lifestyle over hustle, and will be taking over the local tabloid newspaper, hopefully turning it from "Little House of the Prairie Gazette" to something a little bit more ballsy.
And with a newborn around obviously want to work a lot from home, supporting new mum. So, with OS-X and Indesign on the Mac, I'm all ready to go, except for a printer.
I've decided to go for second-hand laser over new inkjet: my priority is proofing A3-sized pages with graphics and pics on them, though colour is out of my price-range (and really bit of a luxury for my needs), even on ebay, while duplex would be bonus but not vital. Have found on ebay (here in australia) a HP 5000N laserjet and an Apple 8500N laser -- both at great prices and both great printers.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. I read somewhere that Apple 8500 doesn't allow duplex printing from OS-X...all help gratefully rec'd...
