Is there a printer that works with imac

I upgraded my operating system and now I can not get any printer to work??

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion occasionally results in a somewhat rocky transition with one's existing printers.
I recommend deleting your existing printers from System Preferences > Print & Fax, and adding them again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the printers again according to the instructions here:
OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer
Then, check for updates using the App Store. All your printer's functions that you have been accustomed to using in Snow Leopard should still be available, though some are hidden in dropdown menu selections using OS X's standard Print dialog.

  • Mac OS 10.4.7 : Is there a printer that works with this system? Canon CAN'T

    Can anyone suggest a currently available, reasonably priced printer that actually works with 10.4.7??

    CD printing should be done on printable CDs, not on labels. You can print labels and then put them on the CD.
    There are a number of printers that will work, but it depends on your needs. The most compatible printers are PostScript, followed by PostScript clones.
    I also have an Epson inkjet, which almost works fine, except that the host computer will not sleep when it is powered up and sharing the printer. Actually, the display goes to sleep and will not wake up, which is bad.

  • Is there a dot matrix printer that works with iMac

    Trying to find an impact printer to do invoices on an imac computer, but no luck so far.  Any ideas?
    Bill

    The Epson Networking Impact Printers are designed for high capacity environments and are Mac OS compatible.  The IP networking printer drivers built into Mac OS X support the  IP Network dot matrix printers, both 9 & 24 pin. 
    For example, for the FX-890N Networking printer you can use the driver "Epson 9-Pin Series" as shown below:
    Epson's full-featured, FX-890N Networking printer offers the durability and ease of use required for essential daily printing. This 9-pin, dot-matrix, narrow-carriage workhorse boasts an MTBF rating of 20,000 power-on hours (POH) and speeds of up to 680 cps (characters per second).  Engineered for seamless integration, the FX-890N's interfaces include an internal 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet print server with support for Macintosh OS X.
    Its easy-to-install 7.5 million-character ribbon cartridge boosts productivity and ensures a low cost per page, while its 400 million-character print-head life heightens its dependability. Included Epson Remote Configuration Manager software simplifies printer setup and setting selection.  Ideal for rugged environments, the printer is a perfect drop-in replacement for the Epson FX-880/880+/980 or Okidata Microline 320/320 Turbo. It handles forms up to seven parts thick via four convenient paper paths, and its redesigned control panel features a lock-out mode and other intuitive functions.  The printer is Novell tested and approved and is backed by Epson's comprehensive three-year warranty with technical support.  The Epson FX-890N offers the durability and ease of use required for criticaldaily print requirements. Speeds through multipart forms,reports, labels and more at up to 680cps.Offers an MTBF rating of 20,000 POH and a 400 million character print head life..  Includes 10/100Base-TX Ethernet Interface for easy networking.

  • I would like to buy a HP printer that works with Windows 8 preview.

    Understand that HP will not release drivers for existing printers until August at earliest and that is OK....I have 3 HP Laserjet 1020s that have been great and will buy a new HP printer if it will work now with Windows 8 preview.  Any suggestions or any fixes/patches for 1020 that work.  Also interested in any non-HP printers that work with Windows 8 preview?  Prefer HP but will buy first printer that works from any mfg. as I would like to give Windows 8 a real try.   Believe HP is missing boat by not putting a patch out for some of their printers as soon as possible as I am not the only HP user looking to buy any printer that works with Windows 8.

  • Printer that works with Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hi. We are very new to Macs (2 weeks). Have a Mac Book and AEBS. Both work fine. Our HP printers, however, only work if connected directly to the Mac Book. I'm informed that we need to get a printer that works with the AEBS if we wish to have wireless printing. If anyone can recommend a printer that works with AEBS, we'd be grateful. Thanks.

    Hello Jungle-cat. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Check out the following iFelix site to see which printers are known to work (not not) with the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).

  • Cannot get printer to work with iMac

    I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
    All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
    sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
    Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

    It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
    Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
    If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
    Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

  • Is there a Bluetooth printer that works with the new Ipad?

    Does anyone know yet if there are any portable Bluetooth printers that will work with the Ipad?

    deggie is correct; BT only works with some headphones and keyboards. You'd have to invest in one of the 3rd party apps in the App Store to get your printing done.

  • Suggestions for all in one wireless printer to work with iMac

    I am looking for a new all in one that will work with my iMac & Airport

    About a month ago I got an HP Photosmart Premium c410 AIO (print, copy, scan, fax). I don't remember the price, but I think it was about $200.  Wireless setup was easy and it works fine so far.  I also use it in a Wi-Fi (Airport) network with a Windows 7 PC and 2 Win 7 laptops; the HP software for Windows is _much_ more user friendly, versatile and faster than the Mac s/w IMHO.   The software for it on a 2011 27" Intel iMac running SL is more stripped down and slower to connect, but it works OK. I haven't upgraded the OS to Lion yet due to numerous complaints.
    The only gripe is that like most current HP printers, it eats cartridges, even the XL ones.  The ePrint function works fine with an iPad (version 1).  Print quality is OK for my uses, i.e.,  letters, photos on plain paper and up to 8.5" X 11" good photo paper).
    I also connect to a one-year old HP Photosmart c310 my daughter brought home from college for the summer - seems to be a pretty similar ePrinter, but without the fax capability.  This works as well as the c410 near as I can tell. It probably cost about $120.

  • All-in-one printer that works with Airport Extreme (n)

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought an Intel MacBook and an Airport Extreme 'n'.
    Now I am looking for a compatible all-in-one (multifunction) printer. I have been searching on the net all day till my eyes are sore.
    I don't need to use it too often so am looking for a a cheapie under $120. I mainly need it for printing black and white, photocopying and scanning the occasional document.
    Is anyone using one with decent quality or can recommend one?
    I know about ifelix's list but am looking for a recommendation as well as one that is compatible...
    thanks you...

    I have looked around here, and just can't figure this
    out, please someone help. I just purchased a 3180 hd
    with my macbook. Was printing wirelessly fine with
    my previous hd and new extreme. Now this one isn't
    working and hp said that it is not a supported
    wireless printer. Why on earth would apple sell this
    printer then.
    Could someone please tell me how to make this printer
    work over my new airport extreme base. PLEASE
    This is the problem with the new airport extreme(n). All the printers work when connected directly to your computer, it is when they are connected to the base station that there seems to be compatibility problems. I have ruled out buying the C3180 for this reason.
    Someone may be able to help you. If not you will either have to connect it directly to your mackbook to use it or return it and buy one that is compatible.

  • HP 316C printer not working with Imac

    Hi Everyone,
    Can you help us with the following problem.
    A friend of mine bought an Imac together with Mac OS Tiger Dutch latest version.
    He formerly used a Windows based computer with an HP 316C Deskjet printer. Now he wants to connect this printer to his new Imac.
    I searched the whole HP website for the Macintosh drivers but I found none despite the fact there where Vista drivers for this model.
    Can you tell us how we can install this printer on this Imac?
    I thank you very much in advance for your efforts and time spend on our problem.
    Have a nice day.
    Friendly greetings,
    Chris

    Bad_Wolf,
    Mac OS X already has drivers included in the operating system (assuming that you have not done a custom setup and did not select printer drivers) you can setup your printer as easy as 1-2-3!
    Alright now lets get started!
    First I strongly recommend that you verify that you have any available updates installed. You can do this by clicking on the apple menu, which is located on the very far left hand side of the finder bar. In the Apple menu click software update. If no updates are found install them, if not then lets continue with resolving your issue.
    Once verified that all updates are installed, ensure that your printer is connected via USB and turned on then locate the printer setup utility. It is located in the utilities folder. (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities) Once located open the application and a new window will open with the heading "Printer List" in that window click add. Mac OS X will automatically at this point search for and install the printer and the necessary driver.
    Hope this helps!
    If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please don't hesitate to let me know!

  • What is the best all in one printer that works with the iPad

    The best all-in-one-printer to use with the ipad mini

    Any that advertise Airprint compability will work for printing. Note that you can't use the scanning or faxing features of an all-in-one with an iPad.

  • Is there an extension that works with Dreamweaver CC to create SCORM imsmanifest?

    I searched the forum and it looks like Manifest Maker for ADL SCORM 1.2 will not work in Dreamweaver CC. Can some please confirm this? Is there any extension like this will work with Dreamweaver CC? Can Manifest Maker for ADL SCORM 1.2 still work in Dreamweaver CS6?  The extension can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1012681

    You link is dead as far as I can see.  Just clicking on the link takes me to your webmail (rr) but using this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail &extid=1012681
    Is dead.
    However, Most Extensions in CC requires a ZXP format/extension and distributors have provided free updates to their customers.  Have you tried contacting the person who created that particular extension?  
    If you can sort out the links then our experienced MVPs will help you out.  They need to see what you are talking about.
    Good luck.

  • A printer that works with AEBS-n!!

    Got the AEBS-n about 2 weeks ago, and spent a few days pulling my hair out (like others), and decided to go look for a new printer, as the old one (HP OfficeJet 5510) just wasn't doing the job when connected to the AEBS.
    Went with the HP Deskjet 7310; plugged it into the ethernet port, and all is good
    OfficeMax has the Deskjet 7310 @ $199 blowout. Office Depot has the DeskJet 7410 on sale at $325, with a $125 mail in rebate. Both printers work with the AEBS-n.
    Hope this helps!
    iMac 20" Core 2 Duo, Mac Mini Core duo, Airport Extreme 802.11n   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    For an All-in-One (or almost ) we have a LaserJet CM-1017, color printer, scanner and copier connected to the ethernet port of our new AEBS running 5GHz "n" only. Not only does it work great through the LAN, I have also configured it so I can print to it from Internet.
    I wasn't big on the new HP design with all the toners in the front but it can print on almost anything.
    Initially I tried using USB but the HP Director software wouldn't "see" the printer so I switched to ethernet.

  • WRT120N - Is there an expander that works with this router?

    anyone know what if any wireless expanders work with a WRT120N router?
    I have a sorority house that was setup with the WRT120N router and has WAP54g's connected to it, but they will not keep a connection worth a darn.
    3 floor older building, 2 wap54g's on the top 2 floors.
    I tried to set them up as wap's but Linksys support said it will... not work with the model routers that were installed by Cox.
    Any Ideas?

    WAP54G will work in repeater mode only with WRT54G or another WAP54G. I think you can go for a new wireless N router which can give you better signal strength.
