Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
Many thanks.
Crazynow!!

I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

  • Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    AS it stands now, in order to use the calculator that comes with the Dashboard, you cannot read from a list of numbers in, lets say, word or excel. The dashboard is full screen and nothing can stand along side it. Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

  • Can anyone recommend a NAS media server that works with iTunes 10.5?

    I currently have an Iomega Home Media Server but have given up on Iomega ever updating their firmware to work with the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions for a suitable (not Iomega) replacement would be gratefully received.

    non out of the box
    the apple programs support accessing from shared itunes lib but only true ones even nas's which say they work like shared libs don't work
    some nas like my sonology have apps for ios which allow me to play the media from them
    and general upnp apps are also supported but you need to use 3th party apps

  • Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

    Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable. 

    Hi CJR
    I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
    Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
    TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups.  Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
    My back-up plan is as follows:
    1.  Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
    2.  Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
    3.  iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
    4.  Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
    5.  Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS  cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
    Cheers

    Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5. Am I missing a driver? If so where do I go to download it? thanks

    What's the full model number and name of the printer?  I can't seem to find any HP printer with the numbers 3080 in the model number.

  • CS 5.  Will it work with Mac OS 10.10.1?

    Will it work with Mac OS 10.10.1?  If not what is the latest version of Mac OS it would work correctly with?
    The most recent version of the Mac OS is 10.10.1 (Yosemite).  Do not wish to update if it will affect my ability to use CS 5.

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • Can anyone recommend a moderate priced camcorder to use with I movie 08'...

    I recently purchased a i mac OSX version 10.5 and would like to buy a new camcorder. I would like recommendations for a good moderately priced camcorder to use with i movie 08 or i dvd. Thanks.

    Take a look at the Panasonic line of miniDV tape cams. Their better cams have 3CCD's, which is desirable.
    If you think you may wish to use iMovie 06, the earlier and, in the opinion of many iMovie faithful, the best iMovie version, you will require a miniDV tape cam with a Firewire port. Hard drive or DVD cams will not work with iMovie 06.
    If you choose a format other than miniDV, make sure the cam chosen is on Apple's compatibility list and be aware that even that is no guarantee of glitch free connection to your Mac, as can be seen in the iMovie 08 postings.

  • External DVD rw, will it work with Mac mini 1.83 intel duo 2....NEW USER

    Hi
    I bought a refurb mini 1.83 dual core 2 last week it has leopard installed, but no superdrive I have an external dvd rw via USB2 will this work with Leopard I dont have any drivers for it(BUT ITS MAC COMPATABLE), but after reading some questions in this forum I am lead to believe it will just work...is this truue? also will it work with Idvd ?
    Thanks for your help
    BRAND NEW MAC USER !

    Without knowing the make and model of the drive it's impossible to tell for sure if it will work, but more than likely it will if the drive is claimed to be Mac compatible. You may need to download the free utility 'Patchburn' from http://www.patchburn.de/ because some drives require it. Try if without first however, and you may find that the drive works natively in the Finder and iDVD. If not, install Patchburn and test it out.
