All my printers worked great.
The only printers I ever used on my Amiga were:
1985-1988?  Star Micronics Gemini 10x b&w dot matrix printer.  Very loud.

1989? - 1994? Hewlett Packard HP Deskjet 500 b&w 300dpi x 300dpi Inkjet printer.  Very quiet and much sharper than the old Gemini 10x

1994+ Hewlett Packard Laserjet 4M 600x600 dpi laser printer.  This model has built in Postscript(tm).

Any printer with built-in PostScript will work wonderfully with the Amiga for sure.

Otherwise you have to somehow check compatibility.  There was a guy who made superduper awesome printer drivers for Amiga until around 2001 or so?
I forgot what his collection of printer drivers was called though?  Maybe Turboprint?

I used an old HP DeskJet 500, which has a parallel port.  T'was nice.


That is the one I had.   I loved that printer!  But my HP LaserJet 4M blew it away so I gave the DeskJet to my dad.

My dad no longer uses that printer and I should prob try to get it back from him to donate to a worthy Amiganaut.
