I need a printer that will work wirelessly with Lion os

Please help me find an all in one printer that will work wirelessly with the new Lion OS.
I'm on my third printer...
Thanks

Exactly what did you do when trying to set up the printers? Did you follow the mfr's instructions?
I also have an Epson (Artisan 810) and it works flawlessly - both wired and wirelessly. If I remember correctly, the instructions specifically said in order to set it up wirelessly, I had to connect it via USB first and then unplugged the cable at a specific point (following the instructions). And, the instructions included having to copy the printer's  MAC address (a series of numbers and letters) from the printer display panel and enter it at my router's (Netgear) online setup site.

    What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
    Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
    Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

    Canon Pixma iP4950 works great with my PPC G5 iMac on Leopard. Maybe other of their models do as well.

  • I have an Imac using the old Classic operating system.  The printer I was using died and I need a new printer that will work on the OS 9.1/9.2 operating system.  Does the install disk that comes with the printer allow the computer to communicate with the

    My printer died and I need a printer that is compatable with OS 9.1/9.2.  Some printers say they are compatible with OS 9.1/9.2 but do they need a driver or is it included with the install disk that comes with the printer?

    As long as the printer is accurately described as being compatible with OS 9.1/9.2, if it needs to have software (such as drivers) installed that software should either be included (usual) or downloadable from the net(usually from the manufacyrer's website).
    Not all non-Apple printers need drivers installed. Some, such as many Postscript ones that connect via ethernet, are quite comfortable using the LaserWriter 8 printware that's part of OS 9. Some of those, though, may need to have a model-specific PPD (Postscript Printer Description) installed, a small document that informs the printware of the capabilities of the printer.

  • HP photo printer that will work with a separate HP scanner

    I need to replace an old HP printer that doesn't have Full Function capabilities with Windows 7.  HP Tech Support told me they DO NOT recommend using more than one scanner per computer, so told me not to buy an All-in-One printer to use with my HP ScanJet G4050 scanner.  Possible software issues in the future.  
    Problem:  I'm having a difficult time finding a single function inkjet printer that will print quality photos and has photo black ink.  It must be fully compatible with Windows 7 & 8.  This has become a nightmare as it's nearly impossible to find a newer single function printer that does high quality photos.  HP seems to focus on the all-in-ones that don't have the capabilities of the older Photosmarts.  Such as separate photo tray, photo ink, gray ink, etc.
    I currently have a Photosmart 8150 printer that does a great job on photos and has photo black as well as gray ink for printing color and black and white photos.  You can't find a comparable printer like that anymore!  HP needs to realize that there are a lot of customers out there looking for a good quality photo printer like their old Photosmarts of 10 years ago.  HP needs to pay attention to their customers and provide support for their older photo printers AND manufacture printers with the same functions as their older models!
    Suggestions on new photo printers would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Yes.

    Any of the ones listed there should work.

  • Need a RAID that will work on both new and old Mac Pro

    Desperately need to expand my RAID storage, and also not quite ready to buy the new Mac Pro.   Are there any high quality 6TB+ RAID enclosures that will work on both the new and older non-firebolt Mac Pros?  I already have a sh*t load of 2TB 3.5 drives, so I only need an enclosure.  
    Even when i get the new macpro, I will use the old mac pro as a second station, so i need the RAID to work on both. 

    Why not go for a eSATA Raid and a cheap eSATA card for old Mac Pro  and get either a Thunderbolt to eSATA or USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter for your new Mac Pro? Thunderbolt to eSATA is faster, of course.
    I have a MacPower/Inxtron Hydra 4 x 2 TB eSata for example. I have a eSATA card in my Mac Pro and when I need to use it on my Retina Macbook Pro I use a USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter. Gives me about 240 MBytes/s with Raid 5.
    On the eSATAcard it's just a little bit more, like 250/260 MBytes/s.

  • Looking for a WiFi printer that will work with my Nexus WiFi hotspot

    On a recommendation, we have bought an Epson NX530 WiFi-enabled printer.  It does not work with the WiFi hotspot feature of my Galaxy Nexus.  The support tech at Epson suggested that we get a WiFi router rather than trying to use the Galaxy Nexus.  I told her that I would rather trash the NX530 and get a printer that would work with my phone.
    So we have 3 questions:
    1) does anyone know how to make an Epson NX530 work via the Galaxy Nexus hotspot?
    2) does anyone know of a different WiFi enabled printer that works with the Galaxy Nexus?
    3) does anyone know if the Galaxy Nexus is inherently unable to work with any WiFi printer?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    This website should be able to assist you.  http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/galaxy-nexus-help/8520-wifi-printing.html   I use an app called Printhand from the Google Play Store for my Android tablet and smart phones. I have a Canon  Pixima 3220 that functions great. I also have a higher end HP Envy D410a that also works great with printhand.  The Canon is cheap at BJ's at $40 when I bought it. The HP is about $269 at Staples and other outlets.  Good Luck

  • Need a driver that will work for HP Color Jet Laser Printer with OS 10.7

    How can I download a drive, and fom where, that will allow me to print from a Mac Book Air with OS 10.7 from an HP 1600 LASER COLOR JET. Thank you

    Hey Ravenmark,
    This may or may not work but you can try using the Mac OSX drivers for the 1500 series and see if you get any good results.
    They're listed here:

  • Need suggestions for photo printer that will work with a dedicated HP G4050 scanner on Windows 7

    I was told by HP Tech Support that they didn't recommend I try to run an all-in-one printer and a dedicated scanner on the same PC.  Dilemma is that most photo printers sold today are also all-in-ones.   Also, many all-in-ones don't seem to rate very high on photo quality.   Do I end up buying two printers - one for text and another for photos or what?  
    Your input is welcome as I've researched this problem for a long time and don't know what printer to buy!  Thank you. 

    Yes, I do know that; but the basic driver doesn't allow all of the menu options on the printer to work.  For instance, it won't tell me how much ink is left in each cartridge, etc.
    I'm debating whether to just keep my old Photosmart 8150 and keep plugging along until it dies and then worry about replacing it OR keep looking for a new one.
    Problem is that HP Tech Support told me that they DON'T recommend I use an all-in-one printer AND a dedicated scanner together due to possible software issues.  Since most of the photo printers made this year seem to be AIO's it's been a very difficult experience finding an older printer that has a Full Solution Driver in WIN 7 and/or 8!  Oh, you can find some but they cost an arm and a leg even at used prices!  
    Anyone with experience using an HP dedicated scanner AND a printer is welcome to jump in and give me some feedback. Thank you so much!  : )

  • 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.

  • What is the best N.A.S non-mirrored storage that will work on osx lion with a time-capsule

    Recently bought a 4TB external network non-mirrored drive. Specifically D-Link DNS-325 2-bay sharecenter NAS because my Itune library was reaching 1.8TB. After buying and installing can't bring it all online. System sees it but won't connect and after lookin' around  online it seems if your using OSX Lion with a Time-capsule it won't connect. Does anybody know if this for sure, is not posible?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Apparently the NAS will work with Lion just not with the Time-Capsule as well. As this is my router this should be the forum. If you don't then if you could forward it to the appropriate one i'd appreciate it.

  • Is there any driver for an HP Laserjet 5000 printer that will work with OS 10.10.2?

    I have an older laserjet printer and since updating to OS 10.10.2 I cannot print. I have been on with HP, and they no longer support this printer, and the latest driver is compatible with OS 10.6. Does anyone know a way to get around this? I really cannot go out and buy another printer, this one is great.
    Thanks

    Mention you're using a Mac and HP will give up pretty easily. It doesn't matter whether the printer is new or old.
    Since the driver you have been using no longer works, did you try OS X's generic PostScript printer driver?
    I agree old HP printers are built well and last forever, and no one likes keeping perfectly good printers in service more than I do, but are you absolutely certain a new printer is out of the question? Faster and much more capable laser printers than the LaserJet 5000 are readily available today for less than $100. HP doesn't make them.
    Even finding a replacement your toner cartridge for yours must be getting difficult. The street price for that toner cartridge is about $150. HP's list price is well over $200.
