Best laser multifunction printer?

Anyone have ideas as to the best Mac compatible laser printer with scanner and copier? The Samsung SCX-4500 apparently has issues with the Scanner. I plan to use the printer with a Macbook w/USB connection but would also like to use with a Windows XP laptop.
Thanks

I am having a similar problem. I just picked up a Canon MF4350d and cannot print to it from the new iMac with Snow Leopard. It works fine from my Windows XP machine over the Airport Express but not from the iMac unless it is plugged in directly. It is a great printer otherwise.
I called Apple Support and they confirmed that it would not work. I was given the impression that this was one of the few printers that couldn't work through the 'bonjour' printer networking software, and so I guess I'm off to buy a new printer.
From what I read here, I'm going to get a networking one, even thought I got the Airport Express specifically so that I could share a regular USB printer over the network. This is a bit of a disappointment!

Best Laser Color Printer

I'm in the market for a new laser color printer. Does any one have any suggestions? I need to stay at $800 or below and need to be able to print from CS3
Thanks for any advice I can get

There is no one best, because so much depends on your situation. I recommend that you make a list of the features that you need, and those that you would like, and then go through the various manufacturers and see how close you can get to them. Examples of features would be:
Duty cycle: How much will you print in a day, or a month.
Network capability
PostScript
Duplexing
Multifunction
Print speed, particularly color print speed.
Trays and tray capacity. The ability to hold a whole ream is valuable if you have trouble storing half a ream.
Cost of consumables.
You might want to consider other technologies, such as Xerox's solid-ink, or Ricoh's new gel-ink, as well as laser.
None of these technologies do the finest photographs. If you are interested in that as well, you might be better off with two printers.

Recommendations for best wireless multifunction printer for Macs $100?

Anyone with recommendations for best wireless MFP for Macs <$100. Would like to be able to print photos too. Need EASY set up. Prefer two paper cartridges. Would like to be able to print from iPad, iPhone, Laptop and Mac. Also need to fax.
Oh...and need to buy it tomorrow. Help appreciated.

Hard to say, we all like different flavors.
If you have had a good experence with say your old Epson like I have, then that's the flavor that I will most likely stick with.

What is the best multifunction printer to use with mountain lion

Trying to find the best multifunction printer for use with 10.8.4. Any suggestions would be welcome.

What are you looking for in a printer? Laser or inkjet? Fax as well? If inkjet & fax, I can recommend the Canon PIXMA MG922.

Best Multifunction Printer (with FAX) for Mac Pro running OS 10.4.11?

What is the best multifunction printer for Mac?

I'm currently trying to choose a great multifunction printer for our small office and I need advice on what brands are "fully" compatible with Mac OSX 10.4 and higher. I would like to know what your experiences are with certain brands and models.
In my particular situation I have a list of requirements in order of importance:
1. fully compatible with the Mac OSX 10.4 (and higher) operating system.
2. affordable (that's very subjective but for me that would mean something below US$600)
3. monochromatic laser printing
4. network printing: LAN or wifi (wifi preferable? are there disadvantages?)
5. duplex printing
6. duplex copying
7. +/- 30 ppm or cpm
8. scan to ftp or to hard disk (without the need for additional software preferable)
9. network scanning
10. toner and drum in one
11. faxing
Please also state what you found great with your machine.
Looking forward to reading your opinions.

I don't have a home office - nor do I have any experience in printers the way some reviewers do. When it comes to printing, all I care is that it actually prints and doesn't jam.
Printers are so inexpensive these days and my old printer was a great Cannon that did it's job - cost about 80 bucks when I purchased. Then I bought an iPad and tried ALL the free printing apps - and even paid for an app that swore it would work with any printer. NOPE.
So, when this printer came up to test - I jumped on it! WOW. Not only is it so easy to set up, even I can do it (didn't even need the disk). It prints anywhere from my iPad and my iPhone. I also love the double sided printing and never realized how much double siding printing I actually do. It's great for long recipes. The photo aspect of it is sharp and clear. I LOVE The scanner and though I rarely use a fax - it's nice to know it's available so I don't have to drive to my local media store. For the price - it's amazing.
It's also super fast compared to my Cannon and super quiet.
I've started recommending this to my friends - even though they may not do much printing - it's amazing how much you'll start printing once you have this super hero. Kind of like my Kindle - I read way more books now than I did when reading hard/paper backs!!!.

Best, most compatible multifunction printer/copiers for medium-sized office?

Hello world!
I have recently been tasked with selecting a NEW multifunction copier for our office! Our office consists of 30 to 40 users, mostly writers and graphic-designers, all running 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7.2.
We're interested in a B&W machine that...
can print at least 50ppm
can handle large file sizes with ease (for graphic designers printing InDesign files etc...)
is first and foremost, VERY mac-friendly/compatible
can scan multiple docs quickly, to an email or device, perhaps even scan in color
Currently, our office uses a Canon iR5570, Canon iR5020, and Xerox Phaser 7750DN. Support and proper software/drivers for the Canon printers is a nightmare. Despite trying every print method/driver/software/protocal combination possible and updating the firware, the Canon printers lock-up when multiple print-jobs or when large graphics files are sent to print. It's a very nerve-racking experience, especially when you're the tech that must address the issues .
If anyone has any suggestions or experience with a specific nice, newer printer, I would greatly appreciate them. I'm leaning toward Xerox at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
John

I agree with you for a Xerox MFP
This series has the features you requested.
http://www.office.xerox.com/multifunction-printer/multifunction-over-30ppm/workc entre-5735-5740-5745-5755/spec-enus.html
But you would better call your local Xerox representative to tailor the right printer for your needs.

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow My Multifunction Printer series

I have a new HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction, the delivery paper after the fuser, it is no making the right job and I got a jamming code, I replaced the fuser but still making the same issue.

Hey @Germanimagenet ,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Can't scan from Lexmark multifunction printer - firewall issue?

Hi there!
I got a Lexmark printer/scanner combo which used to work fine on my arch install. However, its mobo died, so now I'm back at another install which refuses to scan. Scanning is done through the browser via a java applet residing on the printer's webserver. The applet does start (so it's not a java issue), but refuses to receive data from the scanner. Within the printer's web interface, it reads
If using Windows XP, the Windows XP personal firewall must be disabled before using Scan to PC profiles.
, so I'm assuming it might be a firewall issue. Lexmark's website provides the following advice:
The following two command lines will open the port 5353 for incoming and outgoing connections:
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 5353 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
NOTE: These steps will work on most distributions configured with IPTABLES. There is no common command to make these rules persistent.
As I don't know anything about IP tables, I've simply copied these commands (as root, obviously). Still, I can't scan.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anybody else ever come across an issue like this?
2. I don't even know for sure, whether this is a firewall issue - What iptabled magic would I need to temporarily disable the firewall to check?
3. I tried checking my rules by "iptables -L". How can I tell "iptables -L" to specify the ports it is working on (as I did in the commands copied from lexmark's website)?
Best wishes,
Rufus

Hi Bob
I believe so. We put the install disc into this mac back when we bought it to set up the printer. I'm assuming the scanning drivers were there as well since it's a multifunctional printer/scanner/fax wireless printer.
We've tried it both ways. If I press the button scan on the printer, it reads can't find computer (or something like that). When we go thru the HP icon on my computer screen and choose scan to computer, it does nothing.
We don't scan that often. So the few times when we ran into this problem, we just did something else (like take a pic from our iPhone and email the pic...kinda stupid but did the trick.
But I want to have the function of the scanner available. So that's why I'm here asking...thought others had this issue and had a solution.

HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers

I have HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer And i lost the driver cd. Now i want to connect my printer to different pc which has windows 2002. What can i do? I didnt find any driver for this computer in hp drivers pages. Please help me...

Hello Burcu,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're looking for a Laserjet M1212nf driver compatible for a Windows 2002 operating system. I will do my best to assist you! I will provide the HP website where all the full features drivers are available here. If your operating system isn't listed, then there are no drivers available.
The only suggestion I can provide is connecting a USB cable to this printer and your computer. Windows will detect the hardware and try to install a driver. If you have any further questions, please let me know. Have a great night!

Sharing a Multifunction Printer with Mac & PC

Hi Everyone,
I have a Canon MP780 Multifunction printer that I want to share the printing and scanning between my Mac Mini and my Windows PC. I was going to buy a print server to use on my network but they do not support multifunction printers. I was hoping to share without having to have both computers on which would be required if I share the printer on my network.
Anyone have a suggestion for a solution?

The Canon MP780, like most "budget" all-in-one printers, is a "personal use only" device designed to connect directly to a Mac or PC USB port. This device is not designed to be shared on a network - and if you do connect it to a network (via either a print server device, or connected to a Mac or PC and then shared) the best you will be able to do is print to it.
If you want to share all functions of a multifunction printer between a PC and a Mac on a network, buy a device designed for this job like the HP PSC Photosmart 2610.

HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn Color Multifunction Printer unable to connect to webapps, webforms

Hello,
I'm able to print to my printer - HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer - over my local network and the printer is connected to the router via wireless connection. No connectivity issues as far as the local network goes..
The problem I'm having is that for the past week (perhaps longer but I only noticed it a week ago) I'm unable to download the web forms or web apps from the printer's screen menu. I keep getting the message: Unable to connect to the network, please check your network connection etc etc etc.
I successfully printed to my hpeprint email address, so at least the printer is connected to the eprint network, but still can't access/download any of the web forms or web apps.
Has anyone experiencd this? I'm really stuck, can't figure out what the issue could be seeing as how the printer seems to be working over the local network and am able to print documents that I send to me hp e-print email address. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance... Robert

You're lucky to have SOME ePrint functionality left! I got a new m177fw from HP and the printer simply won't enable ePrint. I get a constant connecting screen or connection error screen. There aren't any problems with my network and I spoke with a HP customer service representative over the phone and it seems they are clueless that ePrint is currently broken on HP's end.
