Does ANY printer work with OSX Lion??

I have a brand new iMac and NONE of my 3 printers will work with it.  Yes, I have installed the updates for the drivers.  I have communicated with the tech support people for each printer (Canon, HP, and Epson) and none of them can help me.  I have tried to use them wirelessly and wired, to no avail.  I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled.  I have tried every suggested idea on the printer websites. 
I'm just wondering if there is a printer that actually does work with Lion?  I love Lion; wouldn't trade it.  But I have to be able to print for my business. 
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Summer

Thank you for all the responses...
Actually, I do know how to add the printer; I am fairly computer literate and have installed numerous printers over the years.  I did not have any trouble installing it and adding it to the preferred printer list. 
It is definitely in my list of available printers and it is connected; that is not the issue.  This is not a "user error" issue or the tech support people would have caught it by now... this is a distinctly Lion-printer issue, hence my original question. 
The printer actually starts printing whatever I ask it to; but then it stops halfway through and the tech support people cannot figure it out.  My Canon prints beautifully, is the default printer in the printer list, is connected to my Mac via USB and immediately begins printing, but then after a few lines or even after the first page printed, I get an error about communication. 
This is what happens with all 3 printers when I try to print.
For those of you who responded that your printer works well with Lion, are you using the newest version OS X v10.7.1 ?
How long have you been using your printer with this version?
The Epson is the printer Apple sold/gave me when I purchased the Mac 3 weeks ago, but I have not been able to get it to work right yet.  I am willing to purchase another printer if I know it will work.  I am getting too far behind on my business printing...

  • Does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion

    does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion?

    No, I didn't find your post helpful.
    I'm well aware that FileMaker does not indicate compatibility between FileMaker Pro 9 and Mountain Lion. However, in my experience, "compatibility" is a somewhat ambiguous term -- lack of compatibility doesn't mean that FM Pro 9 won't run under ML. There may indeed be some feature in FM Pro 9 that won't work properly -- but that doesn't mean that the app as a whole is, for example, unusable.
    As another example, I believe that Roxio lists that Toast Titanium 9 won't run under Mountain Lion, either, but it seems to run just fine for me ;-)
    Hence my question: has anyone tried?

  • Does Fast Track work with Mountain Lion (10.8) ?

    As title, does the Fast Track USB Audio Interface from Avid works with Mountain Lion?
    Drivers for 10.8 are not still avalaible, but maybe it's working for someone with 10.7 drivers.

    Hi rcraighead,
    I was curious, did you do a update migration or an actual clean install of both the OSX and Illustrator?
    I was also curious, have you seen any issues with 3rd party plugins running under 10.8 in Illustrator? For example I am curious about Scriptographer, etc., ?
    Thanks for any feedback.

  • HT1899 Does Windows XP work with Mountain Lion or not compatible?

    Does Windows XP work with Bootcamp in Mountain Lion or is it not compatible?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp 5, the version that comes with OS X Mountain Lion, is only compatible with Windows 7 and soon with Windows 8.
    However, if you upgrade from an older OS X version and you have Windows XP or Windows Vista installed with Boot Camp, you can continue using it without any problem, but you won't be able to update the drivers

  • Will C4480 printer work with OSX 10.9.4

    Hello. When I bought my iMac six years ago, I got a new C4480 printer which has sat in the loft, still in the box and unused until today when my "old faithful" bit the dust. The iMac is running OSX 10.9.4.
    When I try to print, I get the messages "HP Supplies Tool cannot be opened because of a problem" and then "Photosmart  cannot be opened because of a problem" ... and no printing.
    I've checked Apple Menu > Software Update and there's no new software to download.
    Will the C4480 work with OSX Mavericks or is it just too old?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello there @Chiefsub !
    Your Photosmart C4480 should still work on Mavericks. See the link below for all of the information you'll need to have it installed. I would suggest ensuring the printer will make copies to just test the hardware to make sure the printer is functioning properly.

  • Does FireFox 4 work with OSX 10.5?

    Does the new FireFox 4 work with OSX 10.5? I ask this because read in an article on Mac Rumors 22nd March 2011 that it does and I quote ''"[http://www.macrumors.com/ Firefox 4.0 is of course a free download, with the Mac version requiring a minimum of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard] Firefox 4.0 is of course a free download, with the Mac version requiring a minimum of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard"''. Is this information correct?

    Yes, it will work on OSX 10.5.8, but only with Intel processors.
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

  • HT1284 Does time machine work with Mountain Lion?

    I had time machine set-up on my old iMac and had everything copied over to my new iMac.  Time machine isn't working.  I can't get it to recongize my external hard drive to back it up.  Does time machine not work with mountain lion?

    Have you plugged the external drive to a different USB port?  Also, I would suggest you reset the PRAM.  If you still have the issue after you have done all this, it may be an issue with your external drive.  Try testing it on another computer.

  • Need HP Print driver that works with OSX Lion 10.7.4

    I recently got a new modem and I need to update my SSID and password on my HP wireless printer.  The printer software that came with the printer and on the hp website for the printer only supports Mac OSX and doesn't work for OSX Lioin 10.7.4
    Is there a way to get software that could update my printer or should i remove and somehow reinstall the printer with different software?
    Kids need to print their homework....help!

    No reason to be sorry,
    You should use the Setup Assistant to reconfigure the wireless connection:
    Make sure the printer turned on and connected to your Mac by USB.
    Go to Applications\Hewlett-Packard\Device Utilities and follow the HP Setup Assistant. it will guide you to connect the printer to your new router.
    If you can't find the Hewlett-Packard folder you will need to install the HP software by selecting the HP Recommended Software, the software van be found in the following link:

  • Will Microsoft Word ever work with OSX Lion?/Worth switching to iWork just for

    I have the Microsoft Office Suite that I got with my computer, I want to know if it will work with an eventual Lion update before I consider updating to OSX Lion. I would like nothing more than to be able to update, but don't know if I'm willing to justify paying the 60 for iWork and then the 30 for LIon. Any suggestions either way would be great! I have been looking at the iWork package, but don't know how I feel about making the switch over...

  • Acrobat Standard 6 won't work with OSX Lion

    I just downloaded OSX Lion and my Acrobat Standard 6 no longer works.  What to do now?  I hadn't upgraded along the way, so how can I know get an application to create pdf files on my Mac?

    Acrobat 6 Standard or deluxe are PowerPC Programs. They've been runing in an emulation mode called Rosetta since OSX.6  OSX.7 Lion is pure Intel only. and Rosetta has been discontinued.
    If you need PowerPC applications You are either going to have to revert back to Snow Leopard. Or buy you an external Drive install OSX 6 or lower on it and run your PowerPC apps from there.
    You may discover many of the applications you depend upon if you haven't kept them upgraded have quit work as well. You can do about the same thing with standard in The Mac Directly. Standard didn't have Forms capability.
    Just go to Print Menu click on PDF and choose desired PDF.  I would suggest though If you seriously want to have PDF and Forms Capability to Upgrade to AcrobatX. There is so much more you can do with PDF's than with 6 Standard.

  • Will Parallels work with OSX Lion?

    A friend has just bought an iMac which still has Snow Leopard. He was wanting to upgrade to OSX Lion but has heard that Rosetta is no longer available in Lion (which he currently needs to run an older language program)
    He was thinking about using Parallels and running the Windows version of this program, but needs to know if currently available versions of Parallels will work on Lion.
    He can't use bootcamp because his Windows machine OS is WinXP and there is no point in buying Windows 7 just for this one program.
    Or should he not upgrade for the time being?
    Has anyone had experience with Lion and Parallels please?
    Thanks
    Ross

    Thanks so much for that information - I'll tell our friend.
    All the best

  • How does syncing Notes work with Mountain Lion ?

    How does syncing Notes with Mountain Lion?

    Notes are synched via IMAP.  IMAP is a protocol most frequently used by email.
    So if you have an iCloud account and have set up a @me.com email address, that's what is used to sync.  For Gmail, that can be used as well, though Gmail's IMAP support has to be enabled on their site and their implementation is very nonstandard and can be problematic.  Best is to sync notes via iCloud.
