If you want it to look professional, get it printed by shop. It will be much higher and better quality picture.

Are apple mac and HP printer compatible?
Yes, but not all printers are compatible. The model of the computer doesn't matter, it's the OS version that does.
You MUST double check to make sure they make MacOSdrivers for it.
For the operating system you are using now.
Simply going to the manufacture's support site and looking through the driver downloads and such will tell you for sure. You should always make sure you have the latest drivers anyway.
Beware of buying "older" new hardware like printers (printers that are end of life models and are being sold off) as many manufacturers don't update the drivers for very long. In other words after a couple or three OS updates they may stop updating the drivers so it won't work on newer operating systems. So now you have a worthless printer only a few years old.

The most common setup for two or more computers to share resources is what is known as a "Beowulf cluster."

Several Linux distributions exist to set up a Beowulf cluster. Some are as easy as booting the computer from a LiveCD, and selecting whether you want it to be the main terminal, or simply another node.

Which printer is compatible with a dell inspiron 15?
Generally, any printer will operate with any computer. Currently on my Dell Inspiron 1525, I'm using a Dell 2135cm color laser printer, but a variety of printers will work. When trying the download the available printer software, the laptop already has a preloaded list of compatible printers. To install printers on the list, it is just a matter of using the disc concomitant with the printer itself. Although my printer was not on the list, it was a matter of inserting the printer CD in to the CD drive and then the installation takes a couple seconds.

Can you use copier transparency paper in laser printers?
While I support TravisO's answer, I would like to clarify a couple things. First, laser printers do not "burn" toner onto the paper to complete the printing cycle. Instead, they actually just melt the toner so as to bond it to the paper. This is accomplished by the fusing assembly which is quite simply a teflon-coated glass tube with an old-tech vacuum tube or other heat source inside. It generates about 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 177 degrees Celsius) of heat which melts the fine plastic powder that is the toner and bonds it to the paper.
Second, as TravisO said, standard transparencies are not usable in printers because in a laser printer, the heat of the fusing assemly will soften the plastic of the transparency and potentially turn it into a viscous sludge which will gum up the fuser and/or other parts inside the printer, requiring costly repairs. In an inkjet printer, standard transparencies will not work because they are not designed to absorb standard ink designed for paper. Instead, they are designed to be marked upon by wet erase markers (and, therefore, the reason that to clean off such transparencies, one holds them under a stream of water). So, in both cases, one must get transparencies that are designed for the appropriate type of printer. Any office supply store such as Staples should have either of these in stock.

How dot matrix printer create an image on a page?
A dot matrix printer creates an image by using a mechanism called a print head, which contains a cluster (or matrix) of short pins arranged in one or more columns. On receiving instructions from the PC, the printer can push any of the pins out in any combination. By pushing out pins in various combinations, the print head can create alphanumeric characters When pushed out from the duster, the protruding pins’ ends strike a ribbon, which is held in place between the print head and the paper. When the pins strike the ribbon, they press ink from the ribbon onto the paper.
