You should be able to use any brand of printer with it just make sure you have the right connector on the computer for the printer,
either a parallel connector or a USB connector.

The brand of the computer does not affect which printer you can buy. Rather, the operating system does that. Any computer purchased within the last 8 years likely has USB ports, and any computer purchased with the last 5 likely has Windows XP. In this case, basically ANY printer purchased today will work with your computer.
If you're running a computer with an older version of Windows, you'll need to search for a printer that is compatible with that version.
If you're computer happens to be old enough to not have any USB ports, you can search for a printer with a parallel connection. The only problem is that finding a new printer these days with a parallel connection can be very difficult. Likely, you'll have to buy an USB add-on card for your computer.
Recap: Any computer purchased (new) within the last 5 years will work with pretty much any new printer.
Hope this helps.

We had 1 of these from ASDA last year (it broke down after 3 months) but the printer we bought was a HP deskjet F380, v.cheap & cheerful, but it worked fine (& continues to do so with the acer P.C we replaced it with !)

Most newer printers will work, they all have the same type of connection for the printer cord.

Any printer should work.
