?Can you get the same benefit from additional SSD by buying an external SSD to pair with a pre-configured machine? ?Thinking of buying a pre-configured machine from Costco which has better prices than Apple?

Thanks

I do agree that purchasing a bigger SSD than you need is a good idea. ?The extra capacity, even if you never come close to filling it up with data, will make the SSD live quite a bit longer.

As a an old grandma-type cook and recipe collector I’ve been following this thread and finally broke down and gave it a try. All worked well - I’m on a MacBook Air Sonoma 14.2.1 / and an HP Envy 6000 series. ?I didn’t bother with pdf etc. ?I never do. ?I print a recipe or two every week and this looked good for my little collection.?

I’m about to make my first Cornish Pastys (delicious meat-pie lunch staple for 18th and 19th century shaft miners, brought in the 19th century principally to Copper Mines in MT and Iron/Copper mines in Michigan’s UP (where I grew up, and where my mom made them frequently). Every little village in the “U.P,” had bakeries that would make delicious pastys.

I settled on a recipe (not my mom’s) yesterday on the web, but printing the recipe from Safari was not possible (my Brother LW-L5200DW would just spew blank sheets, and even “save to PDF” produced the same result (a blank document < 1 KB in size). However, printing from Chrome gave the desired result, faithfully reproducing the identical visible print preview in Safari and Chrome. Curiously, in Safari the print dialog DID show miniature previews of the pages in the left sidebar but the data didn’t make it into the print or saved PDF.

Here’s the URL. I’d be grateful if a few ‘listas would try to sort out if this is a Safari problem, or a macOS problem, or a printer software compatibility problem:

I’m on a current generation 14” M3 Pro MacBook Pro running current Sonoma OS.

Thanks so much,

For the gourmands who’ve never been to the U.P., these are DELiCIOUS, by the way.

On my MacBook Pro 2014, running Catalina, Safari 15.6.1, following your link clicked their black print icon printed just fine to my Brother HL-L2390dw.

On my MacBook Pro M2, 2022, Sonoma 14.2.1 Safari 17.2.1 same printer printed fine.

Thanks so much, Paul. The “darring gourmet” blogger’s IT consultant suggested I just try File>Print from the Print Recipe Page. That generates a preview and hard copy output exactly as desired, suggesting to me that it’s something related to the coding of the page, or perhaps the Print driver that causes the anomalous result from my browser. Do you know if your Print Driver came with a macOS download or directly from Brother? (I don’t really know if they’d be different).
