Hewlett-Packard today unveiled a new consumer laser printer priced at US$249, dubbed the HP LaserJet 1000. We could not confirm at press time whether or not this new printer is Macintosh-compatible — the site has yet to be updated — but it offers print speeds of 10 PPM (pages per minute) at an attractive price point.

However, the company says they remain firmly committed to the Mac platform.]
