It isn't the computer that would effect compatibility, but rather the operating system (i.e. windows xp, windows vista, windows 7, mac OSx, Ubuntu) All printers come with a CD or DVD with the drivers that are necessary for installation. Also, on the side of the printer box or in the owners manual there is a list of compatible operating systems.
