Need a printer compatible with Mac OS 9

Hi there!
One of my client is trying to find a new printer compatible with mac os 9. I've look around, but only have found printer for Mac OS X. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!!!

Christian Labbe...
Epson C86 comes into mind but may be thinning out in some areas stock. Epson seems to be pulling away from Mac OS 9 support for some time.
About the only others I have seen is a few Lexmark's like the Z600 series however their cartridges seem overly priced and it is best to get the expensive high yield ones over the moderate yield ones. Another thing about Lexmark, is they may skimp on a cartridge or both from in the box sale, so read the box over carefully.
Do not get me wrong as Lexmark's are a decent printer, however they do have the highest cost per page in printing ever known to the world. If you need to do several copies of something, it may be cheaper for you to make a printable page and photocopy the remainder. Lexmark also doesn' t rely much on Chooser's configurations as they are somewhat a native Desktop USB printer. They can be configured also as a USB Network printer out of the box.

Is the Dell 2155 MFP laser printer compatible with MAC os x 10.9.2?

Is the Dell 2155 MFP laser printer compatible with MAC os x 10.9.2?

emscape,
you can find Apple’s list of supported printers here. Have you looked on Dell’s Web site, to see if they claim Mavericks compatibility with that particular printer?

Does anyone know of a dot-matrix printer compatible with Mac OS X Lion?

We need to upgrade our system at work to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. We need to find a dot-matrix printer to print our multi-part forms. We have been using an Epson FX-980 and FX-890N under OS X 10.4 (Classic Mode). I've tried to use the FX-890N (newer) using the Epson 9-pin driver supplied with OS X 10.7. The print quality is so bad it's almost illegable. I also tried different fonts in the hopes to improve print quality but have not been able to improve.
We have GOT to get to OS X 10.7 Lion, but cannot give up our impact printing capability. We are willing to buy a new impact printer if needed.
Please HELP!!!

I tried your link, but it came back with no page found at Lexmark. We just purchased a LexMark Forms (dot-matrix) Printer Model 2580n after takling with sales support at LexMark. They confirmed that this printer worked with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). HOWEVER, after receiving the printer, and unsuccessfully attempting to get it to print, I called their tech support. They told me that their sales dept was incorrect, and that they do not have a dot-matrix printer that will work with OS X 10.7. They are in the process of issuing me an RMA# to return the printer with a full refund.
Nothing would make me happier than for you to prove them wrong. I DESPERATELY need to find a dot-matrix printer that does work with OS X 10.7.
Any additional input you could supply would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your reply.

Wireless printer compatible with mac book pro

what wireless all in one printer is compatible with a mac book pro(snow leopard)

You would use AirPort Utility for this. It's located as follows on your Mac:
Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons on the setup page
Click the Options button
The option to create a "closed" or "hidden" network should appear. If the box is checked, uncheck it to perhaps help your printer find the wireless network
If you can connect to your wireless with your computer, you know the wireless is working correctly. You should probably contact HP for additional assistance as this appears to be an printer issue, not an AirPort Extreme issue.

I just want to know if this takes a while to be seen in the add printer window or just any suggestion you can give me.
Thank you for your time. Joanna.

HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences.

Hello,
I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
- Project: CD/DVD Label
- Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
Regards,
Vicarious

I got the same blasted message. I need help. I need to exchange this program for one that is compatible with my MAC. The standard is of no use to me at all. I feel like I have been ripped off

Yes. These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as HP's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
If you require AirPrint compatibility, or if there is any possibility you may need it in the future, limit your search to printers that specifically indicate AirPrint compatibility.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I have no affiliation with Brother but theirs was the first inkjet printer or "all-in-one" I have ever owned that simply works as well as the Macs I am accustomed to using. I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.

Recommendations for wireless mono laser printer compatible with OS 10.6.7?

I am looking for a wireless mono laser printer compatible with Snow Leopard OS10.6.7. This is to be shared by 4 Macs in a small office. We are connected to the internet via DSL modem (2 wired, 2 wireless), and communicate with the Bonjour network. We have a Time Capsule, but are not using that for a server at this time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

How long is a piece of string?
There's a myriad of compatible printers that meet your given criteria, but that's mostly because you haven't been very specific about your needs... 'compatible with 10.6.7' is just one of many considerations.
For a start, what's your budget? That may narrow the field considerably.
Then what's your expected print run? If you're printing tens of thousands of pages per month your needs are way different from someone printing one or two pages a day (or week!). There's a reason why printer manufacturers list a 'duty cycle' on their spec sheets - it tells you what they think it's capable of handling so that you don't under or over-spec your printer.
And 'duty cycle' is way more than just the speed per page - it's how quickly the components wear out and need replacing. If you print 10,000 pages per month then the manufacturer has to build using higher-grade components that can run for hundreds of thousands of pages before servicing/replacing (and I'm talking here of things like fusers, belts, and the like, not consumables like ink and toner).
On the other hand there's no point in the manufacturer using high-grade components that can handle 1,000,000 cycles in a printer that's printing 100 pages a month - the printer, your computer and probably even you would be obsolete way before those components wore out.
Then you need to consider input capacity. If you're printing a lot you'd probably appreciate high-capacity input bins (so you don't have to walk over to the printer every hour to refill the tray).
What about duplex? Do you want to be able to print double-sided (either now or in the future)?
Since this is a small office, do you want other multi-function features such as fax/scan/copier?
These questions (and probably more) will go a long way to identifying the 'right' printer for your needs. As it stands, though, there really isn't enough data to offer any advice.

Itunes is not compatible with mac osx 10.5.8

You need Snow Leopard at least.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.

USB-to-VGA adapter compatible with Mac?

Hi,
I'm trying to hook up an additional external monitor to my MacBook Pro using a USB-to-VGA adapter. I don't need any kind of graphics acceleration.
Here is the type of adapter I'm looking at:
http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GUC2015V
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812203013
Apparently some have gotten the 2nd one to work on Linux with the sisusb driver. Does anybody know if this is compatible with Mac OS X?
Thank you!
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory

Your Mac came with a DVI to VGA adapter. Why do you need a USB one, when the DVI one is faster and more reliable?
Note the specs:

If yours was missing the adapter which is shown "In the box", call AppleCare to ask a replacement be sent.
