Many printers now rely on Windows to create the print image and so will
only
work on a Windows PC and ano good for anything else including a Beeb,
The
easiest way to check is to look for the OS support. If it only metions
Windows and probably a higher spec PC  it is one of these so called Win
printers. If it mentions DOS, Mac, Unix etc you may well be OK.

Lots of cheaper printers are now USB only which is also no good for a
Beeb.
For some reason the USB leads never come in the box and PC World want
£14.99
for one ...
