Frozen Keyboard on M1522nf multi-function laser printer

The keys on my M1522nf multi-function printer don't do anything. The screen shows "Ready" but no key does anything.
If I turn the machine off and then on again it works normally for a while (not sure when it stops but maybe after an hour or so)
I have tried unplugging it from the power strip and plugging it directly into a wall socket. I have tried reseting to defaults.
Nothing has worked so far.
The machine is not connected to my computer as I use it for copying and faxing only.
The only thing different is that I recently put a new toner cartridge into the machine (HP)

the poster's sig line shows 10.5.1 as OS, therefore, yes, they are running Leopard.
One reason to choose the Brother laser printers is that they do support us and our macs. Their support and driver pages are maintained and up to date.
PS their wireless printers are great and work with 10.4 and up to 10.5.2 so far. They are truly wireless, set them up once, and then the only wire that they need is their power cord. Any computer (mac anyway) on your lan can print to them without any wire involved.
(My 2170W did configure totally wirelessly by wifi and I am using it with multiple macs

  • Can someone recommend a good multi-function scanner/printer/copier that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

    I've just purchased a Canon Image Class MF4570dn. Very disappointed to find that whatever I do I cannot get the scanner to work & the Apple support board is of no help.
    It seems like there is a conflict with OS 10.6.8 that does not let the scanner get recognized by any scanning software -- either the Mac native software in Preview or the Canon software included on CD with the box & via download from Canon's site. The Canon software is called "MF Toolbox" but for the life of me I can't get it to start without instantly crashing!
    Any suggestions of set-ups that are working with you on a similar system set-up would be much appreciated!

    This is  discouraging! I ended up trying Canon because my Macbook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing my previous HP scanner -- a MF inkjet printer.
    I have been looking at HP multi-function lasers in lieu of this faulty Canon I just returned.
    I intend to be doing very simple things with whatever MF unti I end upw ith -- no printing or scanning over the network. I'm happy to connect it directly to my computer via USB. So I'm not sure I'd experience the problems you are having.
    Maybe I should go w/ one of these Brother units? Is there anyone on this board that can attest to these machines working with MacBook Pros?

  • Favorite Color Laser Multi Function Printer

    Hi,
    We have four computers all running OS 10.6 connected to Airport Extreme base. Currently using Brother 5440 inkjet connected via Ethernet to the Airport. It scans from all computers, albeit with an occasional restart of the printer. We're looking to replace it (bad printerhead) with a Multi Function Laser device. I've read many reviews, etc complaining about inability to scan over the network or driver problems (HP 1312) for instance. My printer tech person recommends Canon 8350 or HP 1312. Any thoughts on the best Snow Leopard compatible Color Laser MF Printer?

    After long consideration and being fed up with issues with HP printers in he past (especially with limited functionalities with Mac OS), I bought me a Canon MP560 this summer.
    I think it's a great value for money, to refill the ink is reasonably priced (o.k., it could always be cheaper), but my most favorite feature is that I can print and scan from anywhere in the house. So far I am very pleased with both the scanning and printing results. Installation and handling of the SW suite is a child's play.
    If I had to print more I would actually look into a Laser / LED MFP... perhaps the Brother MFC-9120CN or its wireless brother MFC-9320CW, which costs actually quite a bit more.
    Unfortunately, as it seems, Canon has nothing to offer in this class of printers at reasonable prices that are also rated high.
    Just my 10 cents.

    John,
    You may be able to find a Color LaserJet CP1518ni for around that price if you look around. At least here in the states I've found it for $299 and less, although it retails at $399 which is a bit higher then you are looking for. It is the least expensive color laser printer we are currently selling (in the US at least) and it includes PostScript 3 emulation.
    Just trying to help.

  • Laser Multi-function printer recommendation

    I know I'm probably not supposed to be asking for product recommendations here, but am not sure where else to go (if there are other good forums for this kind of thing, please let me know).
    Anyone have any recommendations on a good laser multi-function printer? I'm interested in specific models, but am more interested in brands that are actually friendly to Macs in terms of updating software, providing support, etc. My current model is an HP Laserjet 3052, for which there is still no software update to accommodate for Leopard (which was released months ago).
    Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

  • My new laser multi-function center from brother won't print coupons on your browser

    I just installed my new brother mfc-7360n laser multi-function center. I can print things from my computer and from my email on internet explorer. I was able to print a coupon in my email from barns and noble in my email on internet explorer,but I cannot print coupons on my firefox mozilla email. The firefox browser on my computer does not do that. I need to use my printer on my email coupons and receipts ect. on firefox mozilla or I can't use mozilla firefox.Please help me!

    I'm also having communication issues between a MBP with Mavericks (though the problem has existed with older OS's) and the MFC-7420, also via USB. Restarting the computer does always seem to clear up any problems (whatever they are), until after a few print jobs or a scan job, things mysteriously seem to again go haywire. Sometimes restarting the printer is enough. Often not, though. Also, while there is updated firmware available for the printer, I am unable to install it using a Mac (Windows only).
    Suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

  • Can anyone recommend a Multi-function black and white laser printer for that works with Mountain Lion? The MFP can be either 3-in-1  or 4-in-1 i.e with fax

    can anyone recommend a Multi-function black and white laser printer for that works with Mountain Lion?
    The MFP can be either 3-in-1  or 4-in-1 i.e with fax

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • Best Multi-Function Printer Software Compatible with OSX

    About five years ago, I surveyed Multi-Function Color Laser/Scanners/Fax, etc.  I ended up with a Brother MFC9840CDW that I loved.  I had tried HP but their software was not as good, and too many features were disabled in OSX.  Brother supported almost everything and was reasonbly reliable.  While the scanning functions remains great, my old reliable Brother is getting a bit long in the tooth in terms of print quality and speed.  I am thinking of upgrading. 
    I would to love to find if anyone has experience with Multi-Function machines, particularly in terms of their software, for OSX.  I just picked up an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw B&W, so not to put too much of a load on my color machine, and frankly, it is boss.  But it is not Multi-Function.  Can those who have experience chime in with who they think has great Multi-Function software for OSX, and even better if they have experience across different vendors to (briefly) compare.  It would be much appreciated.  Much of my focus is on flexibility and ease of scanning. 

    I second your inquiry. My Brother MFC7820N just died after 5 years. Was a great monochrome laser printer, scanner, and fax machine. The software always worked. I wonder how the MFC software of Canon or Epson compares?

  • Fax via Network Multi-Function Printer

    I own a HP Multi-Function device to print, scan, fax, etc. My home network is set up to PRINT wirelessly from my computer to my printer, but for some reason I am unable to FAX wirelessly. As of now I must first print the document then fax it manually, when I'd much rather skip the middle steps of printing and just fax it directly using my network. The only way I can send a fax from my computer is bypass my wireless network and plug directly into the HP printer via USB. I think if I can print wirelessly why can't I fax wirelessly too? Any suggestions?

    TC (and airport extreme) peripheral support falls into universal (ethernet) and special (usb).
    Anything that can be connected to the ethernet port will be translated through the wireless system and work just well (or not well) as it would if connected via ethernet. Devices plugged into the USB port (directly or through a hub) require special support by Apple. Apple writes drivers for these and adds a tab to the airport utility software. This used to be just printers. Currently, this is limited to printers and hard drives. MFCs go beyond the simple printing function Apple is trying to support via USB.
    In my case, I have a Brother 7820n MFC. Its designed to operate over ethernet. Plugged into the TC, this means printing, scanning, and faxing (right out the phone jack) wirelessly - from every computer in the house.
    Does your MFC offer an ethernet upgrade?

  • Wireless print server that suppports multi-function?

    I have a family member who has an HP multi-function USB only printer (can't remember the model offhand). They are looking to get a laptop soon. I was also gonna then hook them up with a wireless router for their home & DSL connection. The current HP printer is USB, but I would like to somehow make it wireless. I have used several wireless print server devices for USB printers, but none of them support the multi-functions (scan, copy, fax, etc) and simply allow you to do basic printing wirelessly. Short of buying a totally new wireless printer and/or network printer of some sort that can plug into the router & then handle all these functions wirelessly, is there possibly any wireless routers or wireless print server devices out there that will FULLY handle HP multi-function printers?

  • Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed.  Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED"  and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

    Installed a new router.  Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer.  Two problems. 
    1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.  There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
    2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get:  POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
    I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
    Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson.  Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
    Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

    Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
    Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
    The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
    Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
    Do you need instructions?

  • Faxing from Mountain Lion with a multi-function printer

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion. Of course, my Apple external modem hasn't worked since the initial upgrade.
    I hadn't done too much about this, but it really is awfully convenient to fax from my computer, vs. printing something out and putting it in the fax machine. (I have a stand-alone one.)
    I DO have a Canon multi-function printer (the MX870). When I set it up (which was a nigthmare) I didn't setup the fax portion because I HAVE a fax.
    But now ... well, I'm tired of not being able to fax from my computer. So I know I SHOULD be able to, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I connected the phone line (it's on a splitter with the other portion going to our comcast cable modem.) But it's not visible via the "add print or scanner" preference. The manual is less than clear.
    Do I need to add some Canon software? I'm not at home now, but I'm thinking I'll try that next.
    Any help wold be much appreciated. I know I could buy a new external modem, but as I'm about to purchase a new Retina MacBook pro, I'd just as soon not!
    (P.S. Perhaps this goes in networking.)

    Yes absolutely.  I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all.  I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.

  • Is an OCR app included with the purchase of a Canon MF216n multi-function printer?

    Just purchased this multi-function printer and the documentation seems to imply that I need to acquire an external OCR app.  Please confirm and / or clarify.  Or do I need to download an app from the web like Free OCR to Word?
    By the way, so far the MF216n seems like an excellent printer, etc..  It is amazingly fast in printing out the stuff from the web; very little latency between pushing the print button and when the page becoming available.

    Hi HandletheTruth.
     I will be able to assist you.
    The MF Toolbox 4.9 software supports scanning in the document using OCR processing; however, you will need a separate OCR software that will allow you to edit the software.

  • Multi function printer/scanner

    I need to buy a printer with scanner functions and other features, I would like something not expensive, just for home use but a model which is fully working with Snow Leopard. A good brand for Mac
    Thanks for suggestions

    Epson does make capable printers, and I have owned an Epson multi-function in the past. In my experience, the Epson printers are noisier and often require a nozzle-cleaning operation that wastes ink. My current Canon multi-function is almost silent and has never required any maintenance operation to achieve perfect prints. It also has two paper trays for additional convenience and does duplex printing. Mine is the MP600, no doubt obsolete. Ink cost is also a bit less for the Canon models that use the common CLI-8 4-color + pigment black ink cartridges. Of course, this is just my experience.

  • Multi-function printer compatibility

    I have read in a few places that a multi-function printer (print, scan, fax, copy) will not work with all of the computers on the network plugged in to the USB port of the time capsule
    to anyone that has the time capsule, is this true?
    will all computers on the network be able to print?
    because it is not too crucial for me to be able to scan to and fax from other computers on the network, will the scan and fax functions be usable on at least one of the computers?
