Need new all-in-one printer compatible w/Mountain Lion

I upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion a few months ago, and I'm having a printer crisis. I have a Canon MP500 which does a very nice job printing photos, documents and copying, but the scanning feature won't work with Mountain Lion. I contacted Canon and they indicated that they would not be upgrading the drivers for that printer to support Mountain Lion.
In addition, I have an old (make that really old) HP multi-purpose device that I kept just for faxing, but that finally broke down yesterday.
So, since I have to replace the scanner and need fax capability, I would like to get one device that will do everything. It's important that it prints photos well, but I don't have room for a large machine.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I've got an Epson NX530 that works nicely over Wireless. I've never directly connected it.
The NX are the home/consumer versions and they have some slightly more expensive home office/small business versions that use the same mechanisms.
I don't think any of the front panel buttons work (except Copy), but I can scan from Image Capture which I prefer over any of the bundled scan utilities I've ever had. I think my wife scans using the Epson software and has never asked me how to use it.
I really don't print that much, so I can't comment on the economics of ink usage.

Looking to Buy a New All-In-One Printer

I am looking to buy a new all-in-one Printer.
I have been using the Epson RX620 for a little over a year and have had great print results. Unfortunately I get a warning message yesterday that the printer needs servicing and nothing will work. After getting much less than desirable results from their Customer Support I am moving away from Epson, after three different Epson printers.
I have heard many good things about Canon printers. We will be printing bunches and bunches of photos(two small daughters + graphic artist wife = many, many photos). I am presently looking at the Canon MP600. Any goods or bads about said printer?
We do want a printer that can use cheap cartridges so HP is out of the question. Any other recommendations is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

The only thing that ****** me off about Epson is that they shut down their toll free phone tech support!
I had to rely on their email support to set up my new Epson printer (CD/DVD loading tray) which wasn't so bad as it was very detailed & hands on. I just couldn't understand their manual. I was having one of my "senior moment" days.
Those Canon printers are handsome! I almost ended up getting one. But, the Epson printers won because they are the only ones who can print directly on CD/DVDs & all the software is included.

All in one printer compatible with Mavericks

I have an Epson Stylus NX 430 which I've been unable to use since "upgrading" to Mavericks. Tried my HP Scanjet G3010 - also not compatible. I just need the name of an all in one printer/scanner that *is* compatible with Mavericks.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Judith,
It says in this Doc that the NX430 Printer driver is available. - so I think it will work for printing.

You'll have to check with Epson about scanner driver.
Have you been able to print? Do you get some error message? Most common one is "unable to download driver from the server." That just means you need to Reset the Printing System, then Add the printer:

Yes it's compatible. And did you not even look as this forum to see all the 10.8 related questions?

Need help choosing a new all in one printer. Help!!!

I'm so sick my hp d135
It has given me nothing but pain.multiple users never worked
ink cartriges never lasted.
And I've had a scanner failure for the past two years.
shame on me I kept it this long.

MacFormat magazine (http://www.macformat.co.uk/) has a Buyer's Guide section at the back of each issue of the magazine where they recommend the best hardware and software for your Mac. Under printers they highly rate the Canon PIXMA MG8150 and the Canon PIXMA MG6150 (bear in mind that these are UK model numbers and the same printers may have different model numbers in your country!).

Epson all in one printer - compatible with 10.9.5? Cannot import from scanner in Preview

Got a new Epson printer. Set up is fine; wirelessly connected. Downloaded and updated all drivers. Still cannot import from scanner into Preview. Anyone else? Seems like this was a problem in 2013 as far as I can see from other forum discussions. Any advice? Scanner works manually so it's the set up, compatibility or...?

What do you mean "import from scanner to Preview?"
Does the scanner actually scan, if so what file format (jpg, pdf, tiff, etc...) are you scanning in? Once you have successfully scanned simply open Preview and open the file. Another method is selecting the scanned file, right click and select Open With and select Preview.

Buying new all-in-one printer- canon pixma series?

hi!
i really wanna replace my hp 5610 with a better, faster printer.
* fax
* duplex (feeder ofc) scanner
* duplex printing
* five ink cartridges (not combined)
* network access: ethernet OR wifi. which will connect to the router; wireless or wired.
**cheap black ink**
well, i checked out canon pixma series. the real problem is that i dont know what "mac support" mean. at my hp 5610, hp say the printer is mac cimpatible. but as i worked with windows and mac, i can honestly say the mac support is as good as nothing... just to add "mac supported" at the features.
i am a student so i will print much @ black. plus i always scan my papers so i really need duplex scaning too.
what do you say about the canon pixma mx860 model?
if you can recommend other models (*not HP!!!!*) i will love to know.
thanks!

I would actually recommend the [PIXMA MX870|http://www.canon.com.au/en-AU/For-You/Printers/PIXMA-InkJet-Printers/MX870].
It has 5 individual tanks with a high volume black tank for text printing.
Duplex document feeder
Wireless or Ethernet support
Mac OS X printer and scanner driver included as part of Apple Software Update
well my hp (which *****) also have "mac support" via apple software update. the peoblem is that its features lacking and even the simplest operations like increasing brightness/contrast are missing.
i would prefer the manufacturer's software is its full featured + ofc mac supported.
Bruce De Benedictis wrote:
I am very happy with my MX 850, a predecessor. I use it for most of my printing, except that I have a color laser printer for really big jobs. I suspect that the cost of consumables is comparable on both printers, as 5-8 ink cartridges print about the same as a laser cartridge, and cost about the same as well. Maybe the laser is a bit more expensive, when the other consumables are taken into account.
Scanning is very convenient. I also use the printer as a card reader, although the computer cannot write to them.
do you use canons software or the apple built-in? can you set a new profile with higher brightness+higher contrast?
what about the duplex feature? for scanning? works well? fast? those kind of details usually arent taking into consideration either at specs nor reviews

Wireless printing with time capsule 1tb and new wireless all in one printer

I am having problems with printing wirelessly from my time capsule 1tb. I currently have a hp 5510v office all in one printer and drivers can not be found to support printing wirelessly however it can print via usb. What I need is help in picking out a new all in one printer that can print wirelessly from time capsule 1tb. Please help

Hi,
my hp photosmart C6180 all in one works flawlessly with it plugged in to my time capsule all functions.
I used to have it set up using it wirelessly from the printer however for some reason after a update (i think) it stopped working & would not print so had to plug in to time capsule.

All-in-one printer recommendation

I need a new all-in-one printer for my emac, and am considering the Canon Pixma MP510. I searched the forum and didn't find anything about this one specifically.
I am interested in good scanning capabilities, printing on card stock and transparency paper, and some photo printing although I typically have my photos printed elsewhere.
Any feedback? Thanks very much.

I have an HP PSC1210 and a Canon Pixma MP130. Although they are definitely low-end all-in-ones, both make resaonably good scans and printouts. I like the HP better, but the ink is terribly expensive.
In general, operating costs for a Canon, Epson, or Brother printer will be much less since high quality generic ink cartridges are widely available for these.
Regarding the scanner capability, Canon has been in the imaging business (i.e. photography) for many years and probably knows more about optics than the others.

What is the best all-in-one printer out there today

I have a home office. I have been running either Canon or Epson printers for years. My Canon MP830 is dying - I am getting a blac stripe down the middle of every paper. I need a new all-in-one printer. I want it to work wirelessly and the ink should be reasonably priced. I need it to scan easily and print in both color and black & white. I do not print photos too often it is mostly day-to-day stuff so it does not have to have the higest quality output. I looked at the Apple Store and Apple seems to be recommending Epson. But Apple seems to go through stages ... a couple of years ago it was almost exclusively Canon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I very specifically put what was important to me and my needs in this post. I am looking for opinions and experiences from other Mac users. I also read reviews but those cna be influenced by advertisers. That is why I am posting in this discussion group - to get feedback from like-minded users. Postings from my fellow Apple users that tell me if someone has actually purchased an Epson 545 and truly likes it, or was dissappointed in their HP, or has some issues with their Canon ... all of that will be helpful. Thanks.

Best all in one printer??

I need ethernet all in one printer with fax, any suggestions. I am trying the Canon MX700 and cannot get the ethernet to work.

for some reason it all works now, before when I tried I was using a 192.168.... IP address, that was the same as displayed on the printer LCD. Now I have just reset the LAN on the printer and it gets a 169....address and it seems to work fine. I think my problem was I always thought a 169. address was not a valid address and didn't pursue it further.
Finally, has anyone attached this printer to a wireless network and got it to work?

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.

Installed a new harddrive in my macbook pro. cannot connect to hp photosmart all in one printer!!

I, recently, installed a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro Laptop Computer (2007 model).
Now, I cannot print out anything on my HP Photosmart C7180 All-In-One Printer! They don't
seem to be connected, as the printer icon shows up on my computer, and then, immediately, evaporates
into thin air.
How do I connect my HP Printer to my laptop, now that I have a new harddrive installed?

Hello Lady22:
When you received your printer you should have received two insulation disks one is for Windows computers and the other one is for Mac ( Apple Computer) If you have the disks please install Mac disk. Apple computers do search and down load the parcel software so you can do basic printing commands. You need to find the program that is some where in your computer that allows you to hook up Pinters and Devices. Ounce you find this open it up then connect the printer cable to the lap top. The computer program will list HP's printers yuo need to select your printers model number. Then it will down load the drivers for it to run basic commands. Ounce they are download run a test to make sure it is working right. Contact HP's store and asked them to send you a new set of insulation disk. Your old disk may have fine dust film on them. Clean them off pior to inserting them If you use glass cleaner and fine cloth make sure they are dry off before you insert them. If you used them before maybe a speck of dirt blocked out parcel program that caused it not to install correctly . frrw

HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer won't print in color with new cartridge

HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer on a iMAC OSX version 10.9.5 system
Hello,
As I don't print in color much but had need to I discovered my printer not printing in color. I trouble shooted and even replaced with an new HP95 new from Office Depot ( I never buy refilled). The printer still won't print color but it advances the paper as if it was printing - just no ink on paper. I have cleaned thoroughly the ink jet heads, cartridge area, and run all the alignment and printer utilities. The test page print does not show color either. I have no error messages. Don't know what else to do.
thanks
DH

Hi there @dhengr!
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I can see your having a print quality issue with your HP OfficeJet 6310. I should be able to provide documentation that will help locate a resolution. You mentioned you have already tried another HP95 tri-color cartridge with no resolution. I also noticed you said that the quality report from the printer also has no color ink.
If a stand alone test report is performed from the front of the printer such a printhead cleaning or print quality report and there is no color on the page then you are likely looking at a hardware issue within the printer. I have provided a document regarding Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors on the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer. If you follow the document from start to finish and still have the same issue then I would recommend contacting our HP tech support via phone. They deal with hardware warranty and replacement options.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
