Laser Printer with Scanning the works with Snow Leopard

Buying a new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, and trying to find a B&W laser printer three-in-one (with faxing if possible) and scanning with optical character recognition for $300 or less. I know there were problems with Twain drivers and scanning with Mac OS in the past and Read Iris, but maybe these problems have been fixed. Any recommendations or articles I can be referred to? I see a lot of posts from people regarding printers they are not happy with or have trouble with wireless printing, so I know which ones not to buy.

Check Macworld for reviews.

  • Samsung SCX-4200, Print and Scanning now working in Snow Leopard 10.6

    I found the printer can print right off the bat by selecting the SCX-4300 series driver after the auto-detect.
    For scanning, install the Scan driver on this page:

    You'll need to restart your Mac, but now it works perfectly

    Hey all,
    A quick follow-up to keep you up to date with regards to the repot above...Upon launching the Scanner service from within System Preferences > Print & Fax > "Open Scanner", in a working setup (i.e. upon a fresh system restart), the console presents the following:
    20/4/11 3:15:07 PM          PrinterProxy[1162]          *** Assertion failure in -[NSMenu itemAtIndex:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1038.35/Menus.subproj/NSMenu.m:779
    20/4/11 3:15:07 PM          PrinterProxy[1162]          Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])
    This new clue along with all the previous console messages probably shout out the cause of the problem, but as I mentioned before I am unable to interpret any of it..Bring on the big guns...any UNIX/OSX masterchiefs around here?

  • Canon Printer CLC 3200 not working under Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard printing on Canon CLC 3200 is no longer possible.
    Even after updating to 10.6.1, reinstalling the printer and checking all TCP/IP settings, printing is still not possible. The contact to the printer is there, but the printer is stopped and cannot be activated.
    Apple Support has no solution for it. You have to wait for an updated printer driver from Canon.
    If you are working with Canon CLC3200 don't update your Mac to Snow Leopard!!!
    Best, Andrea

    Here is a solution working for the Canon CLC 3200:
    Chose LPD protocol and enter "print" for the queue name.
    Worked for us – hope it does for you, too!

  • I get an error when I try to print after installing Lion - worked under Snow Leopard - /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed

    I have not been able to print pictures nor any text since installing Lion.  I receive the message in the subject which is totally meaningless.

    When you upgrade from a previous OS there is always a chance that you will bring some setting that is not compatible with the new OS. This can be the driver as noondaywitch suggests but it can also be the core printing system. In the case of the latter, it is a good idea to reset the printing system when a core error occurs. Note that the reset sets the printing system back to default and removes your currently installed printer and scanner queues. But it does not remove the supporting drivers, so you only need to install the driver again.
    How to Reset the Printing System
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan/Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    Just one additional thing to note. In checking the supported printer list for 10.6 from Apple, your RC545 is not listed so running the Software Update will not provide you with a driver for this printer. So if Epson does not have a driver for 10.6, and it appears that Apple does not provide one, then what you have already from the previous installation is it. And if this doesn't work, then you may have to look at either an alternate driver or getting another printer. But let's wait and see what happens after the reset.

  • HP 1020 plus laser printer support on mac os/x snow leopard.

    I have a HP 1020 plus printer and manufacturer refuses to provide drives for mac os/x. There is a free version of a driver by third party but it does not work well and there are some issues with cleanup of old files which are getting in the way of installing it on my mac.
    How do I get this to work?
    thanks

  • I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion my printer stop working, How do I make it work again?

    I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?

    This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

    Disconnect the USB cable from the product, and then disconnect it from the computer.
    Reconnect the USB cable to the computer, and then reconnect it securely to the product.
    Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and then reconnect it to the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the product.

  • How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?

    How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?  The advertising refers to Print Studio Pro 2 but all I find available to download is version 1.35.

    Thanks - I did notice that the 2 was a superscript on one site but on another (I think the one for the Pro-10 printer) it was definitely a 2 in line with the rest of the text and separated by a space (at least on my browser).  At any rate, I suspected something of the kind and will simply use Photoshop Elements 11 when I want a pattern print until the change is made.
    If you have an inside line to Canon you might also suggest some changes to their Image Garden program, specifically its handling of DVD label projects.  It has several themes and within each theme several layouts.  As far as they go these are fine but they do not give nearly enough flexibility.   The boxes for insertion of images are useful as is the simple procedure for rescaling the image so it is cropped in varying ways while staying within the fixed box.  However, it should be possible (a) to relocate the boxes on the page and (b) to resize and reshape the boxes - probably by a control which would become available by right-clicking on the box.  For example, there are times when the user might want to include a full 16 x 9 frame shot as one of the images, and in general the aspect ratios of the provided boxes do not permit this.
    I have over the years preferred to use Word for this purpose after setting up masks to expose just the printable area of the DVD or Blu-ray disc, setting up the margins so that the center of the disc is in the horizontal center of the page, and finally introducing text and pictures and adjusting the font size of blank lines above the disc to line everything up properly in the vertical direction.  A typical layout might involve one large picture, located so the center hole and the curved outer edge do not block anything important, or two pictures side by side, or four pictures centered vertically (to minimize the effect of the outer edge of the disc) but possibly of different widths (so as to make both close-ups and wide scenes optimal on the same disc label).  The text then goes above and below the pictures.  All of this works perfectly so I probably wouldn't use Image Garden very often for this purpose, but the inability to resize and relocate the boxes must be very limiting for others as well. 
    Some of the layouts have image locations severely reduced by the edge of the disc.
    As I said ... if you have an inside line to Canon .. but if not, please excuse the length of this post!

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5

    Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5. Am I missing a driver? If so where do I go to download it? thanks

    What's the full model number and name of the printer?  I can't seem to find any HP printer with the numbers 3080 in the model number.
    How are you connecting the printer to the Mac?
    I am a printer tech for HP.

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

    Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
    Many thanks.
    Crazynow!!

    I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.
