Cheap SL compatible mono laser printer

Being tired of the HP1022 saga I am looking for a cheap monochrome laser printer that works with snow leopard. Does anyone have any suggestions ? USB will do for home use but a network option for desktop use at work would also be handy.
Thanks - Michael

I have two HP LaserJet P1006 Printers which can be found on sale at various times for $99. They have a very small foot print for a monochrome laser printer, an important consideration for me since one sits on a small shelf and the other on a small antique desk.
They run fine with Snow Leopard and both have been problem free.

Recommendations for wireless mono laser printer compatible with OS 10.6.7?

I am looking for a wireless mono laser printer compatible with Snow Leopard OS10.6.7. This is to be shared by 4 Macs in a small office. We are connected to the internet via DSL modem (2 wired, 2 wireless), and communicate with the Bonjour network. We have a Time Capsule, but are not using that for a server at this time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

How long is a piece of string?
There's a myriad of compatible printers that meet your given criteria, but that's mostly because you haven't been very specific about your needs... 'compatible with 10.6.7' is just one of many considerations.
For a start, what's your budget? That may narrow the field considerably.
Then what's your expected print run? If you're printing tens of thousands of pages per month your needs are way different from someone printing one or two pages a day (or week!). There's a reason why printer manufacturers list a 'duty cycle' on their spec sheets - it tells you what they think it's capable of handling so that you don't under or over-spec your printer.
And 'duty cycle' is way more than just the speed per page - it's how quickly the components wear out and need replacing. If you print 10,000 pages per month then the manufacturer has to build using higher-grade components that can run for hundreds of thousands of pages before servicing/replacing (and I'm talking here of things like fusers, belts, and the like, not consumables like ink and toner).
On the other hand there's no point in the manufacturer using high-grade components that can handle 1,000,000 cycles in a printer that's printing 100 pages a month - the printer, your computer and probably even you would be obsolete way before those components wore out.
Then you need to consider input capacity. If you're printing a lot you'd probably appreciate high-capacity input bins (so you don't have to walk over to the printer every hour to refill the tray).
What about duplex? Do you want to be able to print double-sided (either now or in the future)?
Since this is a small office, do you want other multi-function features such as fax/scan/copier?
These questions (and probably more) will go a long way to identifying the 'right' printer for your needs. As it stands, though, there really isn't enough data to offer any advice.

Mono laser printer prob

I need a cheap mono laser printer to work on two Macs and possibly a PC, via a print server (still to be purchased)
Apparently Samsung's 1610 is not Mac compatible and there is no Mac driver for it
Do you know of a suitable printer and have you any advice about a print server - purchased in the UK?
Thanks in anticipation

If you are talking a new printer then what Greg says is the way to go.
If you want a used printer then I use and highly recommend a 16/600. They are built like a tank, frequently come with postscript, frequently have ethernet on them and I've seen them go for $50. A friend got one for free.
Parts and cartridges are reasonable too when you consider how many copies they are good for.
They can use Appletalk and ip printing and are seen on Classic apps for printing in Classic. Drivers are built in for 10.1 and up and networking with my wifes Win XP printer was not too tough either ( an of off the wall settings for ip printing was needed).
No print server needed. Just plug into hub or router.

Only if you have an airprint printer that supports ad hoc network connections (ad hoc connections are one wifi device connecting over the air directly with another).
If you search for "airprint ad hoc" you'll get plenty of hits - several printers to choose from it looks like.

Can anyone recommend a solid, cheap mono laser printer that will work with Mac OS X?

I'm currently looking for a cheap, no-frills printer. So far, most are incompatible with Mac OS X or are too expensive to buy and run.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks!

I've been interested in this for some time and it all seems rather difficult. I had a Samsung ML-1610 mono laser before I bought my iMac three years ago. It worked fine with a Windows 98 laptop and was cheap and I think a bit of an out of date model then. When I bought the Mac one thing that worried me was - would the printer work? Discovered ML-1610 is not Mac compatible at all (officially). Searching for some time found various suggestions to make it work. The simplest was to download driver for ML-1710 and yes it DID work and still does. I even bought a replacement toner cartridge. Samsung mono laser printers are very good value but seem to be NOT very Mac friendly, even the models that are Mac compatible. It is too risky to get involved with models that are not on the Mac drivers list. Also not too happy about models that have Gutenprint or CUPS drivers. Yes, I believe Brother is quite Mac friendly, don't know how cheap. Mac showrooms don't have cheap mono laser printers, the style just isn't right, but they are great. I would never go back to an inkjet.

Can anyone suggest a linux compatible network laser printer/scanner?

I'm in the process of looking for a laser printer/scanner combo that I can plug into my router to print over the network. I've heard good things about Brother, but I just want to be sure before I put down the cash for it. Any suggestions? All I'd be using it for is scanning some album covers/books and printing text documents. The scanner resolution doesn't need to be too high, but enough where pixelation isn't too obvious. It's important that I can network it with an ethernet cable since I'll be sharing it with my girlfriend.
Thanks!
Disclaimer: I haven't owned a printer since 2000 so I don't know shit about these things.

Our (100% linux) office is equipped with a Brother MFC-8880DN all-in-one, and the previous model (8860DN) served us for the three years before this one. Our next All-in-one will be another Brother-machine.
My wife's (100% linux) office has two B/W USB laser printers and one color network DFC (all-in-one without fax). They are also very satisfied with the printing possibilities.
The *only* thing I am not completely satisfied with is the printing of non-black fonts.

Looking for a new budget mono Laser printer

Hi,
I was originally looking at the HP LASERJET P1005 but have read that there are a few problems with drivers for Leopard. Had a quick scout around and found a Samsung ML-2240 which is 10.3 - 10.5 compatible.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers

In my opinion, pretty much all the machines in that price range(that have the specs you're looking for) are going to be pretty much the same when it comes to quality/durability.
I prefer the brand ASUS(and most of the other's on here will chime in to that effect). I'm very partial to them, and would toss this out as a recommendation : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+K-Series+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive+-...
Thought it has Windows 7 on it, I can't say I consider that a bad thing.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Compatible Stationary Color Laser Printer:

Which printers that are color laser printers
with stationary cartridges (cartridges that do NOT move when printing) lol.
that are compatible with Apple Mac OS 10.4.11
AND
A Power PC G3 Processor????????????????
I have a Samsung CLP 300 Color Laser Printer with stationary cartridges ("NO-NOIS")
But the software says "Sorry this software requires a G4 Processor which this system does not have".
Very Annoying. }=[
It works...but the printing comes out terrible. Everything is smashed together on the left side of the page. Whether it is text or images.
I recently learned that Samsung, even with their "NO-NOIS" stationary cartridges, has very limited Mac compatibility. =[ It is just like google software. (excellent software but not made for macs).
I do not care if the printer is big or not. I just want a compatible color laser printer with not moving cartridges. (I had an HP color laser printer with moving cartridges...which is the component that broke). So which printers are similar to Samsungs, but with better compatibility????????
I have an idea that makes sense: Since I am using Apple computer, then why not connect an Apple Printer???? lol. I can get an "old" Apple Color Laser Printer. However, do the cartridges move? I hope they do not move.

Very Important Update!!!!!!! =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =]
I got it to work. I had it plugged into the original USB 1.0 ports and all I did was plug it into the USB 2.0 PCI Card that I added to it recently.
And that is all that it needed. Everything prints perfectly... word processor documents, images, and anything else. So this means that whenever I need to get a color laser printer I will just get anything that I can find on ebay. ( I am going to put a color laser printer for each desktop and perhaps a few for the laptops when I repair them. ) I am very happy about this; I was probably going to have to spend $400.00USD for a confirmed compatible color laser printer but now I don't have to worry about that expense. I really like color laser printers because they are easier to print because the fused toner won't run like ink would. I have HP PSCs, which print (in ink) so I don't use them to print, only to scan...so I have one connected to a USB 2.0 port and I am downloading software to see if it will scan. I am probably going to post a question about scanning... but this question about printing has been solved. =]

Cheap laser printer guaranteed to work with extreme?

Hello,

thanks,

I use a Brother DN-5250 and it works fine. It's not the best constructed thing on the planet, but Bonjour finds it and was about $200. Cartridges are on the order of $70.

Laser printer & Scanner compatible with Mac mini?

I'm currently using an Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer and Epson Perfection 1250 scanner which I had with my iMac on OS9.
I would like suggestions and or recommendations for a reasonably priced laser printer and scanner that would be compatible with my Mac mini.
What are your thoughts on an All-In-One, altho I don't need the FAX.
And would it be a Post-Script printer? As now, when I print from Adobe Photoshop I'm told it will ignore settings as I'm printing to a non post script printer?
Any information appreciated.

Ruthi,
I personally use a Brother HL-2070N monochrome (black & white) laser printer. Got it at the local office supplier for like $99.
OS X has the proper drivers for it, and although there are no options whatsoever in the Printer Setup, it prints flawlessly. And the pages look how I want them to.
Actually on a WinXP machine I had where there was tons of options that you could set, I could never get it to print this good, or fit it properly to the page.
