Good all round Laser printer, for Photo's and general use please?

Hi there,
i'm in the market for a new printer. I need a Laser printer which uses PCL for general work tasks, and for outside of work, something that can produce quality photo prints.
Any suggestions?

The laser technology is such that it does not produce photo quality prints.
Laser printers are producing the illusion of color by using only Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
If you want photos and not just "pictures" you need to look at ink jet or dye-sub printers.

What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos.

What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone. Theyre darn good printer too. I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities. One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK. Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI.

Monochrome home laser printer for my ibook G4, OS 10.3.3

Hi,
I am looking for an affordable, no fuss laser printer for home use . 600 or 1200 dpi is fine, as long as it prints nice looking professional resumes !!
.. ANW, m currently looking the HP laserjet 1020, 1022 and 2100, but having read elsewhere of driver problems encountered by other Mac users, I am unlikly to bite. Found a link at HP website that "sells" the CD for 1020/22 series drivers, but it looks like delivery is only within the US / Canada... (and I am in Asia !!)
Any other recommendations please? many thanks in advance.

Sitting here and watching my new babie 2040 is great.
Called up the nearby store and found the printer for S$198 (with 3 year warranty). Remembered I had a S$200 gift voucher from the same store and within an hour, I was walking out of the store - all smiles as I didn't have to fork out a single extra penny for the purchase.
The installation was very smooth, cldn't be easier... print is fine. except now i probably need to look for good quality paper for printing resumes. otherwise the print on ordinary paper for own home office purposes does it for me.
although i am still wondering how you found out I am from singapore, (guess my member profile shows it), the link you provided solved the problem.
thanks a lot.

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.

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

Black and white laser printer for Imac running 8.6 os

Does anyone know of a laser printer for my older Imac running 8.6 os?

jackson hole 88,
The 300-320-360 series was nice and 10 ppm but no ethernet. Jump right to the 600 series, including the 16/600 or the 640. Find a recycler that refurbishes them. You can get printers there for as low as $25. Buy two and have spare parts. Toner is still available for that series at affordable prices.

How do I find a driver for a Dell 1320c Colour Laser Printer for a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.2

How do I find a printer driver for a Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer for use on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2?

Ask Dell who made the printer and what model is it. Then you can see if there is a matching driver provided with OS X or that can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

Laser printer for Mac OS X 10.7.3 airprint

Need a laser printer for iMac and Macbook Air enable airprint.
Thank you

My question is "Can I use a wireless laser printer wirelessly regardless of the airprint capability?"
Regards
Sure there are quite a few Wi-Fi black & white laser printers for personal use. I would concentrate on HP, Brother, and Samsung. You can also change your router to one that has a USB port on it, then you can get a non Wi-Fi printer, plug it in via USB to the router and you have a wireless printer. I did this with my HP LaserJet 1012 and connected it to my Apple Airport Extreme router. There are a number of other routers that do the same thing.

AirPrint laser printer for home that has "n" wifi capabilities

Looking for an AirPrint laser printer for home that has "n" wifi capabilities. Was shocked to findout that most lasers don't do "N" wifi or high speed networking yet. Am seriously considering the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer, but just found out it is a nightmare to setup. Thought I could run it by USB port off my Timecapsule… Is anyone doing that? Can it do that? Is there a better alternative?

Hi Scott,
You can also setup the P1102w without the USB cable. What you need to do is to connect the printer via ad-hoc to your iPad first. With the default network settings the printer has its own SSID that you can select from the WiFi list on your iPad. Then open Safari and go into the EWS - either by the printers IP or host name. There you go to Network - Wireless and make the settings for your infrastructure network.
However, both Laserjets will need a FW update that you install from a Mac or PC, so you may already use the install steps there to connect your printer to the network.

Mandy

Can I use Deskjet k109a printer for photo printing?

Can I use Deskjet k109a printer for photo printing?

Hi,
Yes, your printer can print photos as mentioned in the following link:
http://www8.hp.com/in/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=3811379
Actually any printer can be used for photo printing, the results may not be the same.
Hope this helps.

Which printer for my Mac (and Windows 7 PCs)?

Our printer just died and I need to purchase one tomorrow. I'll be buying it locally (not from the internet, etc.) and I've narrowed it down to these models so far:
Epson Stylus SX525WD
Manufacturer's website
Brother DCP-J715W
Manufacturer's website
HP Photosmart Wireless eAiO
Manufacturer's website
Canon MFC Pixma MP499
Manufacturer's website
HP Deskjet 2050 AiO
Manufacturer's website
My primary concerns are:
1) scanning; I'm not too worried about getting the printer to work on my Mac, but I'd like to be able to use the device to scan from my MBP running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, without VueScan (which I tried and dislike very much) - so either with Image Capture or with software provided by the vendor, if it's any good.
2) Wi-Fi; most models listed feature Wi-Fi (except the Deskjet 2050 AiO, AFAICT) - I've never had Wi-Fi printing before so I'm unsure of what issues to expect - I figure maybe some printers will be easier to setup with a Mac and/or work better. It'd be nice if the scan function could work wirelessly too, though it's no big deal if it doesn't.
3) photo printing; the printer will be used to print photos occasionally, so it'd be nice if the printer offered a good photo printing experience (sorry I can't be more specific - I'm not the one using the printer for photos).
Also, if you have one of these printers (or an equivalent model), I'd be very interested in your impressions of the printer.
Edit: removed a printer which turned out to be only available online

Well, I managed to get the printer to connect to my AirPort Extreme base station (was fairly straightforward).
Then I wasn't sure how to install the wireless printer with built-in OS X tools, so I ended up using the disc that came with the printer. Installed fine, and I can print and scan wirelessly

HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-one printer J611 series - mavericks and wireless set up

Hi
I have a HP Deskjet 3040A All-in-one printer J611, I have had this printer for about 2years and everything worked perfect then I bought an Apple still all was alright but when I updated my software I got Mavericks and ever since then everything went wrong....I have updated my computer and have AirPrint now and also HP ePrint(currently). How ever the printer was not working or connecting.
Problem 1:
When I tried to fix the problem I uninstalled all HP drivers to reinstall - found that you have to install the apple app Done!(Airprint)
The printer was picked up by the computer and I can scan but I can not print, I'm using the USB cable, and when I print the computer shows it is printing and the printers lights come on but nothing happens(no messages display on the printer) then the computer shows the print is done - but the printer didn't print. Scan is working fine.
Problem 2:
Because of constant problems with the wireless connection I wanted to reconnect it to the router - Restore default.
But now because I don't have the HP drivers, I have no idea how to connect it and I tried both connection ways WPS is not working when I press it on the route...nothing happens and the PIN, where are you suppose to enter the pin, nothing comes up on my computer (USB connected)
I have read the installation pages over and over but can't figure out what is wrong, any advice would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

Hi Lilly4,
I can certainly help you get the printer on the network and working again.
Follow the steps in this thread to put the printer on the network without using the software or the WPS button. I believe we have success doing it this way.
If you continue to experience an issue after the printer is on the network, please let me know. Thanks.
Hope this helps.

How to Restrict printing the document using IRM for a Single Document?Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library?

Can we able to Configure the IRM in Document Level in SharePoint Document libraries?
The document library contains multiple document sets , Can we restrict the printing according to document sets? Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library
Is this possible?Please suggest.

Yes, that can be done. But note that all administrators will have the same right to print, so you need to make sure the users are not administrators. You can include a macro to disable printing, but if the users disable macro, they can print the documents.
Hence, there is no foolproof way to prevent printing documents. If you still need a foolproof security, PDF format provides password based security (viewing doesn't require a password) that can be implemented to prevent the document from printing,
which doesn't require any special scripts and is tough.

What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photos, videos and music storage?

Hello friends!!
What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photo, music and videos storage?
Thank U!!

My personal preference is for the OW, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro quad-interface drive...have four of them of the 2 TB size and they are very good performers. The quad-interface allows you a choice of ways to connect, eSata, Firewire 800/400, USB which is very convenient. OWC is a Mac specialist so everything has been tested and guaranteed to be Mac compatible.

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

You are asking two different questiions:
1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

Good all round Laser printer, for Photo's and general use please?
