Network-attached printer/scanner and Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Hello,
I am a recent switcher and now would like to add some kind of All-in-one Printer/Scanner to my home. I would like to be able to scan documents from Mac OS X via the network. Can you recommend any hardware vendor or specific product?
I tried searching for this topic, but "network scanner" usually means something different hence only unrelated information showed up.
Earlier I looked at the HP Photosmart 2575. There is Universal software available, but I cannot see if the scanning part is available via network.
Thanks for sharing your experience with me!

I have the 2575 and use it with my Intel iMac OS X 10.4.7. For network scanning I use the browser based interface in the printer rather than the HP Applications. It works fine for simple scanning tasks. It doesn't provide much in the way of control of the scanning options, just the type, Color Picture, Color Drawing, B/W Picture, and Text. It also lets you select the document size from a drop down with standard sizes like: Letter, Executive, 4x6, 5x7, 3x5 and 3x3.
The full blown application has a full feature set but I've been having troubles getting it to work reliably. I haven't had time to diagnose what the problem is but I think it is network related so it may just be my network configuration.

I have an HP Photosmart C4180 all in one printer scanner and copier, I can't figure out how to scan more than one page at a time and then send as a PDF file via email

I have an HP Photosmart C4180 all-in-one, printer, scanner and copier. I can't figure out how to scan more than one page? It will only let me do one page at a time and then I have difficulty sending pages 1, 2 and 3 as one docuement. Any ideas??
Thank you, Jetteski

Hello Jetteski,

I have an Epson NX420 printer/scanner, and I keep getting a message on the scanner, saying that there is a communication error, check the connection. I am not having any luck scanning my pictures into the computer.

I have an Epson Nx 420/printer/scanner, and I keep getting a message that says there is a communication error. Check the connection [W-61}. I have the snow leopard operating system Mac OS X 10.6.8 I want to scan my pictures into iphoto. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thankyou.

Make sure you have updated all of your scanner drivers. Check Software update and check with Epson tech support.
Not sure if the Gutenprint and Gimp-Print for Mac OS X (10.2 and later) drivers deal with scanners. Read the info on their website.
Check Apple's Knowledge Base for Snow Leopard & Lion Printer solutions and suggestions for scanner troubleshooting. Especially if you have an all in one.

HT1338 I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP. HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' . Does anyone know how to do this?

HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture
(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway.

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

How do I print from an iPad to a network attached printer on my home wifi network

I am trying to print documents (ie pdf) from my ipad to a printer that is attached to my network via ethernet cable. The printer is NOT an AirPrint type printer but I can print via wifi from my laptop to it without having to have my mac desktop turned on. Everything I have read about the apps in the app store all say I can print to any printer on my network "via a mac or PC". How do I print directly to the printer since the ipad and the printer are on the same network...

Thx for the suggestion, but it defeats the purpose by having to have my desktop computer running. I am looking for an app or hardware device that will allow me to print directly from my Ipad to my printers without having to turn on a computer to do it.
I have tried the Lantronix xprint server and while it works with my older Brother Laser it does not work with my newer Kodak ESP Office 6150 (and it doesn't look like they are even interested in attempting to write support for it into their printer list)
I have tried every app in the app store and none of them do the job WITHOUT having to have a computer running on the network.
Let me re-state the problem...
I want to print from either my Iphone 4 or my original version Ipad to my network attached printers without having to have a computer running on the network to do it. I have a Brother HL-5150D laser printer hooked to my apple airport extreme's usb port and a Kodak ESP Office 6150 connected to the network via WiFi. How can I do this.

Lexmark C544DN network attached printer takes minutes to start printing job

I recently purchased a macbook pro 13" i am moving from a windows 7 environment. My network attached Lexmark C544DN takes up to 2 minutes to start printing the print job, it did not act this way under windows. I have gotten the latest firmware and drivers for the printer, from the Lexmark website, in attempt to figure out the problem. My network hub- router is an airport extreme. I have noticed that at times when surfing the internet safari pauses when loading the page, this appears to be random not associated with certain websites. Not sure if the two are related but since both are using network protocols one may have to do with the other.
I am looking for things to look into that may cause such a problem and how to look into them as I am fairly computer savvy but my experience with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 is limited to going on two weeks now.
I should probably mention that the Mac network is solo not a hybrid with windows and mac together.
Thanks for any advice that can be given on this problem.

I am sorry, you are still on the consumer forums. To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet. Just click on the New Post button.
I hope this helps.

Help! Making a Wireless Network between a PC and Mac and more.

I am trying to make a network between my powerbook and my fiance's pc, so we can share printers. I have an Airport Express and I bought her a Netgear Wireless PCI card. The PCI card is installed and has located the Aiport network. How do I get it to see the printer attached? Is Bonjour necessary? I'm downloading it via the Mac and then transferring the file by Zip because for some reason it wasn't downloading properly on the PC.
Also of note, we use dial-up to connect to the net so this network is again just to share the printers we have, and maybe files.
Printer sharing: I have my HP deskjet connected via a 4-port hub to my Airport. My computer recognizes the HP but when I connected the Lexmark 2250 it couldn't see it at all. Why is that? What can I do to fix it? I have the latest Lexmark Drivers.
How do I get my Mac to see the PC for file transferring, etc? I've been searching through apple's site for information and nothing is really helping me. I am gonna explode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Seth

Ok I got the PC to see my HP 940c wirelessly using Bonjour. However, I still can't get the Lexmark 2250 to show up on either the mac or pc wirelessly when connected to the hub? Is using a 4-port hub connected to the Airport express just not going to cut it for making a multiple printer hub?
I'd really like to do this plus make an network between the two computers.

Can anyone suggest a linux compatible network laser printer/scanner?

I'm in the process of looking for a laser printer/scanner combo that I can plug into my router to print over the network. I've heard good things about Brother, but I just want to be sure before I put down the cash for it. Any suggestions? All I'd be using it for is scanning some album covers/books and printing text documents. The scanner resolution doesn't need to be too high, but enough where pixelation isn't too obvious. It's important that I can network it with an ethernet cable since I'll be sharing it with my girlfriend.
Thanks!
Disclaimer: I haven't owned a printer since 2000 so I don't know shit about these things.

Our (100% linux) office is equipped with a Brother MFC-8880DN all-in-one, and the previous model (8860DN) served us for the three years before this one. Our next All-in-one will be another Brother-machine.
My wife's (100% linux) office has two B/W USB laser printers and one color network DFC (all-in-one without fax). They are also very satisfied with the printing possibilities.
The *only* thing I am not completely satisfied with is the printing of non-black fonts.

Need good quality printer/scanner for Mac Pro

I have read other posts and can't seem to find a solid answer. I need a good quality printer/scanner to use for my business. I scan old pictures and edit them together with music and video. I am looking for printer/scanner that can do this with great quality, and also be able to print onto printable DVD's.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Take a look at the Epson Artisan series of all-in-one printer/scanners.

Lexmark printer/scanner and Image capture to PDF

I am trying to use a x5250 Lexmark printer/scanner to scan with image capture.
The printer installs fine and gets recognized. And I have the latest drivers from lexmark
so when I use the scanner with Image Capture, it scans fine, I can save it as jpg, png, etc.
The only one that gives me problems is when I try to save it as a PDF. It makes the PDF, but when I try to open it with Preview, it says unrecognized file format or corrupt.
I then tried to open it on a linux machine (ubuntu) and it opens fine.
Any ideas?

Update on this: Image Capture still creates corrupt PDF, but it is a problem with Image Capture. VueScan scans to PDF just fine.

Networking iMac intel(OSX4.4), iMac CRT(OS9.2), printer, scanner, and cable

I am trying to set up a network with my new iMac Core Duo and my old iMac CRT and a printer and a scanner. I want the printer and scanner to work with both computers, and for the Core Duo to be the one connected with the internet via cable. (My ISP will only allow one computer to be connected.) I also want the two computers to be able to work with each other's files. The Core Duo has OSX 4.4 and the iMac CRT has OS 9.2. Previously, I had two iMac CRT's working on a network as just described. I was using a 5 port hub.
Now, my question is: Can this be done? I have tried everything I could think of, but have had no luck. I can get one or the other computer to work the internet, which is fine, but I can't get them to talk to one another. At one time I managed to get the iMac CRT's icon to appear of the Core Duo's desktop, and could pass stuff one direction, but I could not get the Core Duo's icon to appear on the CRT's desktop.
Another problem: Each computer has a single Ethernet port so I can't tie them together directly and still access the modem. Can I tie the stuff together using Ethernet cables? There are plenty of Ethernet ports available.
Is there some website I can go to to get educated about this?
This is the longest question I have seen on this discussion forum!
iMac iintel,iMac CRT Mac OS X (10.4.4) also, OS9.2

Sounds like you need a router. Connect the modem and the Macs to the router so both of your machines have internet access. The modem will assign a single IP to the router and then the router will assign IPs to the Macs. You can also connect the printer to the router so both machines have access. I'm not sure about the scanner though as I've never seen one with ethernet connections.
