Would buy an Apple printer?
Only if it said HP in the fine print, as I'm quite happy with their product line.

I think canon and hp make a small 4x6 photo printer ome was thermal for no dots, just think with Apple design and powered thru firewire.Originally posted by i_b_joshua
I also agree but can't help thinking a single model, low profile 'portable' photo printer that does 6"x4" wouldn't be a big loser.
Imagine something not much bigger than an iPod.
Re: Firewire or not
I believe there are already mid to high end printers with firewire. I don't know if it is possible but if you had IP over firewire it would be very useful for network printers and would beat USB hands down.

I don't think Apple should make printers, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to team up with Canon or HP and have them make special models that are "Apple certified".
An excellant idea.
As many in this thread can attest thier old apple printers are extremely reliable no matter who produced them. my 1200 stylewriter (canon i think} is still going strong and i believe supported in classic although i have not tried it yet there.
Apple certified who hopefully means regular driver updates. which is much needed.
This could also extend to scanners an exspecially sore OSX driver spot for Apple.
Basically reliabilty and support are number one and two.
Features, speed and styling would follow although I would love to see some great styling in this area. The canon scanners thin line are cool looking

Yes, if it was manufactured by epson. Dell's is going to sell their own branded printer manufactured by lexmark.
I would also like an Apple branded two button mouse with scroll wheel manufactured by logitech. Apple makes terrible mouses, after two weeks of use the cable is loose and the mouse freezes onscreen unless I push the cord in. Apple keyboards are also flimsy, they should use the same white plastic found on the iMac's case instead of the clear one, its smoother and sturdier. I don't want to buy a new keyboard and mouse every couple of month's you know.
