Printer for Mac OS system 7.6.1?

What printer or printers are compatable with a Mac OS computer with system 7.6.1?
os Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier system 7.6.1
os Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier system 7.6.1

sandpoint l,
Many HP inkjet printers have a parallel port for PCs and a second MiniDIN-8 printer port for the Mac. A quick look at the ports will tell you if the inkjet will connect to the Mac. Drivers are not too hard to find if they are not already on the Mac OS install CD.
HP laser jet printers will have an "M" included in the name. Yesterday at the WSU auction, a pallet of 20 laser printers sold for $2.50. One was an HP Laserjet 6MP. The M means you do not even have to see the back of the printer to know it will plug into a Mac.
Jan mentioned ethernet. Any printer with a network card or onboard ethernet ( including the older auii? - one brain cell just died and I cannot remember the name of the earlier port that requires an adapter to convert to RJ 45 phone plug style cables) allows for sharing a printer on a faster connection.
This link to Sun Remarketing has a nice matrix of older printer info:

The printer you choose depends more on what you want to spend for color vs. the reliability and economy of black laser toner.

Apple product printer for mac os system 7.6.1

I misstated my question. I wish to know what apple product printer will work with a mac os, system 7.6.1. I need to know precisely which model(s) will work as I need to purchase one, probably off the internet. Thanks for your help!
os Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier system 7.6.1

Sandpointl,
Our first laser printer was a personal laserwriter NT and we printed 8000 documents with our first toner cartridge. If you do not need color, laser is the way to go. The newer printers, like the laserwriter select, are great. University surplus sales are a great source. The last six printers were $35 or less. The untested 'as is' printers being auctioned off as a lot were $2.50. Goodwill also has printers from time to time.
The toner cartridge might cost you $25 to $75. If you want to use the older computers, you have to be willing to shop at older shops or recyling stores.
This site gives a nice summary of printers from that day.
http://www.sunrem.com/specifications/printers2.html
All work with an Imagewriter cable. Print the list and carry it in the car. If you happen onto one of those printers, make a test print - I carry a laptop on serious shopping trips.
If you just want to buy retail and have it work, upgrading your computer will be cheaper. If you do not mind bargain hunting, older printers are a dime a dozen.

Wireless printer for mac OSX 10.7.4 any recommendations

what is a good wireless printer for mac POC 10.7.4,having problems with hp 3050A

Hello Flajack,
Thanks for the post. I did some checking here and the HP 3050a is compatible with MAC OS 10.7 in a wireless environment. What kind of issues are you having? Installation? Connectivity? Maintaining a wireless connection? I've included a couple of my favorite links below to assist in getting this resolved. Check the information in these links and let me know how it goes from there. Good Luck!

What is the best multifunction printer for Mac?

I'm currently trying to choose a great multifunction printer for our small office and I need advice on what brands are "fully" compatible with Mac OSX 10.4 and higher. I would like to know what your experiences are with certain brands and models.
In my particular situation I have a list of requirements in order of importance:
1. fully compatible with the Mac OSX 10.4 (and higher) operating system.
2. affordable (that's very subjective but for me that would mean something below US$600)
3. monochromatic laser printing
4. network printing: LAN or wifi (wifi preferable? are there disadvantages?)
5. duplex printing
6. duplex copying
7. +/- 30 ppm or cpm
8. scan to ftp or to hard disk (without the need for additional software preferable)
9. network scanning
10. toner and drum in one
11. faxing
Please also state what you found great with your machine.
Looking forward to reading your opinions.

I don't have a home office - nor do I have any experience in printers the way some reviewers do. When it comes to printing, all I care is that it actually prints and doesn't jam.
Printers are so inexpensive these days and my old printer was a great Cannon that did it's job - cost about 80 bucks when I purchased. Then I bought an iPad and tried ALL the free printing apps - and even paid for an app that swore it would work with any printer. NOPE.
So, when this printer came up to test - I jumped on it! WOW. Not only is it so easy to set up, even I can do it (didn't even need the disk). It prints anywhere from my iPad and my iPhone. I also love the double sided printing and never realized how much double siding printing I actually do. It's great for long recipes. The photo aspect of it is sharp and clear. I LOVE The scanner and though I rarely use a fax - it's nice to know it's available so I don't have to drive to my local media store. For the price - it's amazing.
It's also super fast compared to my Cannon and super quiet.
I've started recommending this to my friends - even though they may not do much printing - it's amazing how much you'll start printing once you have this super hero. Kind of like my Kindle - I read way more books now than I did when reading hard/paper backs!!!.

Need new ink jet printer for Mac G4 with classic

I've searching for a new color inkjet printer for my G4 with Classic and have found only 1 by Epson, the R800. However, I'm getting different answers from various techs. One said I just need to get a print server. A tech at Epson says it probably won't work for my classic mode if the OS 9 software is booted up with an OS 10 driver. I don't know the answer to this or exactly what it means!!! Most of my printing would be done with OS 9 software. I have been using an HP laser printer and an HP color inkjet on all 3 of my networked Macs with no problem. Can anyone tell me if the Epson R800 will work? Thanks, Ann C

I don't have it, but the specification page says
+Windows 98SE/2000/Me/XP, Mac 8.6-9.2, OSX 10.1.3 or later+
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&in foType=Specs&oid=37472319&category=Products
Plus, there is a driver for Mac OS 9 available for download here
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 30501&prodoid=37472319&infoType=Downloads&platform=All
So I see no reason why it would not work.

Office Printer for MAC

Can anyone suggest a printer for a small office that will also scan and fax that is compatiable with MAC?

ok-I presume you're wantin' a laser printer...as far as I know, you can't fax from your mac, but that isn't usually a problem.....Brother? maybe Samsung....
Lexmark and HP have a few.. BUT what is your budget? perhaps kyocera or Rico...depending..... If you want monochrome, your options may be more....and the price may be a little better
basically when it comes to campatibility, check before you buy. the people at St***es know nothing about Mac stuff.....

Laser print for mac book 10.8.2

Hello,
i need for my home a wlan Laser Jet.
Not so a big printer with scan and more. Only print.
All Laser Jet, not for Mac with 10.8.2 Version.
Greetings

I just recently registered on this forum to see if I could help with answering questions from the users here. I did this because I like the apps and aims of Mozilla, and I'm willing to spend time helping people out with using these apps if I'm able to. That being said, questions worded like the one above do not make me want to spend much time being all that helpful.
My suggestion is that you wait a few hours (or day or so) before posting about a problem that is causing some negative emotional response for you.
If anyone has the same problem as what is described above, please post more information about their software versions (i.e. flash version), and whether or not the issue remains when taking the flash plugin out of the equation and using HTML5 on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/html5).
My initial thought is that the issue is with the flash plugin being used. Has another flash version been used?

Best network (4-in-1) laser printer for Mac??

Hi Girls & Guys,
I'm looking for a reliable laser network printer (fax/copy/scan/print) suitable for Mac, for small business - 2 iMac's Snow leopard.
I had problems in the past, especially with regards to scanning through a network HP printer to my iMac's.
Anybody have some suggestions? Brands & Models...
I've heard Brother, Epson & Canon are most suitable for Macintosh.
THANKS!!

If I were you, I'd go shopping at MacMall - they have a number of printers that they sell and will let you know if they are Mac-compatible.
This one looks nice - and supports AirPrint.
I do a lot of shopping there, for everything from hard drives to Apple products. Have always received top-notch service.

What is the best wifi printer for mac ox 10.7.4 ?

I'm in search for a new All-in-one wirelless printer/scanner for my iMac and I have seen many negative postings for various top seller wifi printers,when it comes to Lion operating system. Does any one has been successful with a HP or Epson all-in-one printers lately and the iMac?

Hello pgb100,
Yes! As a matter of fact, I just got an Epson Artisan 837, 2 days ago. Set up was a breeze and I already printed from my Imac, Ipad and Iphone. It works great! The scan quality is pretty decent too and you can also print CD's! I can't wait to use that feature :-D. However, the photo quality was not as good as advertised. I found that the printer gives me very dark pictures. I had to go back to editing my pictures further and increase lighting to have a good photo. I'm using left over HP photo paper I had from my previous Photosmart 8250 -which produced very good pictures-. I'll purchase Epson paper to see if it makes a difference. I haven't used the fax feature yet, but I'm sure it works fine. I think the printer is very fast and very user friendly. Nevertheless, it is a big brinter; Thus, hope you have the space for it.
Overall, I think it is a good printer for the money. I got it on sale at Office Depot and it is also an energy star printer. Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Early sat. morning java enabled a new update internally. now I can't get on BNSF website , it says not verified by a trusted source. Is there a patch or fix for this for mac lion system

BNSF help desk says it was an internal update by java and mac users won't be able to use firefox to log on. The update changed things for mac users. The window that popped up said sun.security validator exception. MD2 with RSA disabled. Cannot be verified by trusted source. I really need this web site for my work. I'm also computer illiterate. Is there some kind of patch or fix for mac lion. HELP.

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
