Network printing?? 2 questions for m1217 mf printer

I have new m1217 mf printer. on hp desktop with Win7 Ultimate, using ethernet as printer will not do both ethernet and Wi-Fi at same time.
I got it because it has both ethernet and WiFi. I won't go there about support telling me it will do both, just not at SAME TIME. Imagine having a router that says same thing!!
My last network printer, a Canon, would turn on and print when a document was sent to it.
This one does not.
So, Is this the way it should be.
A related question is I have set printer to turn off after 15 minutes, but it seems to stay on for hours [just until before one of us sends a doc to the printer 8-(
How do I get it to turn off at the 15 minutes [this is 15 min. of nonuse of printer]

Pahu and Eliask,
I just purchased a canon isense mf4018 for our office. We have a mac mini os x 1.5.8 and a pc windows xp sp3. we are experiencing a printing problem from the mini. we aren't using a network. we just swap the usb cable between computers when printing is needed. The error that occurs is 'load correct paper MP tray: ltr; cancel: sys. monitor.' This looks like it only happens when we print from Word for Mac when printing more than one copy of the document. Excel printed multiple copies fine. If i go to sys monitor and print status, I find the word doc option to cancel or continue print. I choose yes to cancel and it prints another copy of the doc. the error still exists. I go through that routine until all copies have been printed. Scanning doesn't work. I downloaded this driver http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0036890.asp?model=
Thanks for the help

  • Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts

    On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
    I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
    So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
    Here's the transcript:
    SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
    SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
    nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
    CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
    jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
    CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
    katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
    DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
    SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
    MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
    CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
    Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
    CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
     jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
     JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
     nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
     DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
     KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
     CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
    Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
    DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
    ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
    JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
    lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
    CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
    Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
    DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
    jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
    JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
    Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
    CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
    ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
    JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
    TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
    DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
    AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
    CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
    DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
    jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
    CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
    Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
    JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
    ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
    SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
    nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
    JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
    jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
    CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
    TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
    DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
    ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
    JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
    CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
    carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
    CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
    wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
    DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
    nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
    JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
    katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
    CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
    jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
    CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
    jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
    JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
    rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
    DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
    SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
    JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
    Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
    SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
    ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?
    DavidH-HP: Oh yes, whenever time permits. In addition to trying to help people, I learn things too.
    JimB-HP: I'm known as Wi-Fi-Guy on the support forums. I hang out there often helping where I can. It helps me be a better designer.
    CraigB--HP: I monitor the forums looking for problems to take back to the development lab for investigation. To date, I have only posted one reply.
    CameronL-HP: I haven't been involved in the past but expect to be more involved in the future.
    SiobhanF-HP: We only have time for one more question. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    ZhuLee3: Thanks for setting this up!
    SiobhanF-HP: The transcript will be posted on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    TEACHER1: Thank you all for conducting this session !!!!
    jest1: Is there an OS limitation to print wirelessly?
    JimB-HP: All the OS versions supported by the printer as supported wirelessly. In general, we are compatible with Macs, Windows and Linux.
    SiobhanF-HP: We are ending the chat event. Thank you for coming. We hope you found it worthwhile. I will be posting a transcript of the event in the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. We will be hosting future Meet the Experts chat sessions on a variety of topics, so please tell us what you thought of the event and how it could be improved. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Feedback&thread.id=525

  • Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

    Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
    Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
    I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
    They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
    Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
    Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
    Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

    We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
    Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
    What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
    Again, I think it stems from the update.

  • Fault tolerance for network printing

    What options are available to provide fault tolerance for network printing?  Currently, all our shared printers are on ServerA.  Is it possible to have similar shared printers on ServerB and have the clients automatically switch to Server B if
    Server A became unavailable?  We don't care about load balancing as much as fault tolerance.  Thanks to all who post!

    A failover cluster node ? (not in nlb;
    Servers in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) failover cluster cannot be used as print servers in Windows Server 2008 )
    For environments that require high availability, you can use a failover cluster as a print server.  If a node in the cluster fails, all print functionality will fail over to the next node in the cluster.  To improve failover times, we recommend
    that the administrator for the cluster force failover to each node when new print drivers are installed on the server.  During a failover, the driver installation is forced to occur on the active node.  The installation of the driver on each node
    can require several minutes. Forcing this installation process during maintenance will make sure that any unplanned failovers during usual operation will be very quick, because the drivers will already be installed on each node.

  • New tip trick for capturing scanned images to the PB from your wireless network printer

    I've read a couple of threads here and on crackberry about not being able to print directly to a printer on the local network (although there is a way to print via the cloud from gmail apparently). Anyway it occurred to me that I can browse to my printer's IP address and in addition to allowing me to configure it, it also lets me scan documents to jpg, pdf, and tiff formats and then renders the scanned image through the browser. I tried this from the Playbook browser and it worked perfectly. i was able to view and save the scanned document directly to my Playbook file system. Even more conveniently I could just take a screenshot of the browser window. Now if only the printer would let me print the scan or better yet browse to and upload a local file for print my printing problems would be solved. I am using an older HP 2500 psc. Does anyone know of a newer model wireless/network printer that allows printing via the browser interface?

    Just to clarify. When your playbook and the wireless printer are on the same network, you can browse to the IP address of the wireless printer from your playbook just as you could from your PC or laptop. The browser will display the printer's web features which in my case includes the ability to scan the document that is laying on the scanner bed of the printer. When I click the scan button, the image of the scanned document renders on my playbook and I am able to save the rendered TIFF, JPG, PDF to the playbook locally or I can even just take a screenshot (press the playbook's volume up and down buttons simultaneously) and then the image of the document from the browser window automatically saves to the camera folder under pictures.
    What I would like is to find a wireless printer that from the web page that is displayed when I browse to the printers local IP address be able to browse to a file on my playbook and upload it to the printer (kind of like uploading or attaching a document to a gmail email message or uploading a local picture to Facebook etc...) and then instruct the printer to print the document. Obviously this would only work when I was on the same local wireless network as the printer but it would essentially solve the "how to print directly to a wireless printer from the playbook?" question.

  • Connect to a network printer for air print, after disconnect from the wifi iphone keep pop up a message saying the printer is offline. How do I disable this annoying message?

    Connect to a network printer for air print, after disconnect from the wifi iphone keep pop up a message saying the printer is offline. How do I disable this annoying message?

    Hey ronniefai,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a prompt that your printer is offline. This may be due to a printing job that is currently in the queue. Are you able to see the print summary when following these steps?:
    Viewing the Print Summary
    You can view the Print Summary by double-tapping the Home button and swiping to the right to reveal Printer Center. Then tap Print Center.
    Note: Print Center is available only while printing is in progress.
    via AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If so, see if you can cancel the job. If not, what happens when you re-connect to the network that the printer is on?
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password.

    I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password. I have tried my own IMAC password but to no avail. The printer also shows a pop-up box stating 'awaiting authentication.
    Any help appreciated

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • How do I add a network printer to a terminal server for one user?

    I have a 2003 terminal server.  I also have a network printer accessible by IP.  I want one of the users on the TS to print to this printer.
    If I log in as the user, all print options are greyed (access denied).  There's no 'users' icon in control panel to give the user admin access like I might do on a workstation.  This printer is not installed on a print server so even if he did
    have access, doing so doesn't appear to be an option.  If I log in as Administrator I can add printers but it wants me to specify \\servername\printername and it's not set up that way.  It's just a network printer on an IP.  Also I'm not trying
    to get RDP to map the printer locally for the user, he needs to be able to print from the terminal server to the network printer.  Any articles I can find assume the printer is either local to the user or on a print server of some kind.
    Is this possible and how?
    Thanks!

  • How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

    How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are  XP,Vista & 7.
    Thanks
    Leon

    Unplug the USB cable from the printer.  Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
    Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Need Network Printing support for the Deskjet 6500 series as a shared printer!!!

    Why does HP NOT SUPPORT INSTALLING the Deskjet6500 series as a shared network printer on Win 7 64 bit??  There is NO DRIVER available and if its NOT USB DIRECT CONNECTED windows update will NOT FIND a driver either!!!
    This is stupid!!

    Hi,
    It's a network printer (depending on how you set it up) and you can find drivers for Windows 7 64bit from the following link:

  • Network printing asking for authentication

    Greetings.
    I am responsible for managing a number of Mac-based labs and user laptops in a school district environment.
    I have recently upgraded my XServe to OS X 10.5 Server, and the client machines have been upgraded to 10.5 as well.
    The OS X Server machine handles management only; network user authentication is handled by Active Directory running on a Windows 2003 server.
    All users have mobile network accounts.
    This issue I'm having is this: When printing to a networked printer whose queue resides on another Windows print server machine (any non-Bonjour printer), the user is prompted to authenticate with their network username and password.
    It's not terribly detrimental since once they enter their username and password, the print job goes through, but I'm just really wondering why this is happening all of the sudden.
    Last year, I did have a number of 10.5 machines that were being managed by a 10.4 server, and as far as I know, this prompt never came up.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you kindly!

    Create an SM50 trace with only the security component turned to trace level 2. In order to do so, run transaction SM50 and select some of the dialog work processes (around 5). Then choose 'Processes -> Trace -> Active components' from the menu (or use CTRL-SHIFT-F7). Set the trace level to 2 and select only the 'Security' component. Reproduce the SSO problem, and note the time. Return to the SAP system to check the traces you just started (CTRL-SHIFT-F8 in SM50). This trace collects information on work process level. Therefore, you need to find the work process that has handled the authentication attempt.
    This procedure is described in Note 495911 in more detail.

  • How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

    How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
    I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
    I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
    printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
    I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

    You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning.  You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

  • Best networked printer for a MAC based network?

    I may regret asking this :"), but what is the best network printer to use on a MAC based network? I have been the victim on the bloatware HP drivers for years, and am really sick of them. But what do I purge this nightmare for? Canon (like the MX860) looks interesting and is multifunction (a requirement). Lexmark seems to making a comeback, and Brother as well. Epson has seemed to do OK as well. Who has the most reliable drivers for the OSX platform, updates them the most regularly, and seems to actually care about Apple (as opposed to pandering to the Windows crowd almost exclusively).?
    Comments?

    I did my homework for network printer/scanner/fax and came up with the Brother Color Laser MFC-9840 CDW. It's got every button and whistle, and they all work on a Mac or PC network. You can scan from the machine and pick which Mac to send the scan to, or scan from a Mac. Sheet feeder works for fax and scan, real duplex printing. All works on Leopard. They have lower models which will also work, but without the Color, or Wireless (which we don't use).
    I've seen great on-going driver development with the latest operating systems...
