Printer for macbook

I'd like to buy a printer to go with my new macbook. I'm not fussed about being able to copy and scan altho that would be useful. I am also not fussed about colour. What I would like is a really reliable printer for black and white documents, applications, cvs, that sort of thing. Am used to laser printers and would hate to lose quality of print. I am hoping I can get a printer for under £100. Woudl like to order online in UK. Any suggestions? I have got as far as thinking an HP from Amazon might be the way to go, but don't trust the amazon reviews. Thanks for any help.

The answer that "any" printer from the popular vendors is simply not correct, however if you want a list of current compatible devices please click Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion

Compatible at-home printer for MacBook Air 13"?

Can anyone recommend an at-home printer for MacBook Air 13" for my granddaughter? High school now requires papers typed and printed. Thanks.

Personally I like Canon inkjet printers. When I connected it to the USB port, the MacBook immediately recognized it and it worked without a hitch. If you're going to be printing mostly B/W then there are many inexpensive laser printers that typically print faster and crisper for text. IMHO.

Need a printer for MacBook Pro - ideas?

I need a printer for my MacBook Pro. I want to be able to copy, print, scan and fax, and I want wireless capabilities. Considering an Epson Workforce 845 that had a good review on cnet. Any input would be appreciated.

I just ordered the HP C410a from Amazon.
It was rated very high on the list of Consumer Reports tested printers.
The Epson Workforce 845 was not tested, But the Workforce 840 and 835 were 2/3's down the list of approx.54 all-in-ones. They only rated fair at most of the printers functions. They had a $1.00 more per month ink cost then the HP. The HP, I linked, was rated very good to excellent on all it's function tests and placed 4 from the top of the list.
Interesting to me, out of the 54 printers not many had a fax function!
How can you say you are an all-in-one when you only scan, copy and print? I know faxing is less used these days but I still need it on occasion.

Reliable, Affordable Printer for Macbook Pro w/ Retina??

I apologize ahead of time if this is being posted in the wrong place, but i'm looking for advice on getting a good printer for my Macbook Pro w/ Retina. I currently have an old Dell 1320c and although it setup fine and prints correctly the toner is now printing in gray and the lack of proper driver support makes troubleshooting the printer very difficult. In light of my recent printer troubles I decided to come here for some printer suggestions. As far as price range, I would like to spend no more than $150 for a new printer but if jumping up to $200 or something close greatly improves the quality, i'm open to more suggestions. This printer would only be used by myself at home and strictly for school assignments like word documents, powerpoints w/ pictures, etc. nothing too intense. I would not be printing actual photos and I don't think I need the speed of a laser printer to be honest. I would like a printer with GOOD support, meaning I can easily replace cartridges and not have to worry about replacing my printer for at least 2 years. Dell cartridges were pretty expensive and a lot of people had the same gray output problem that I experienced before the printer even reached 1000 prints. Regardless, this baby lasted me a good 4-5 years before giving me real trouble so I'm hoping a decent printer won't be hard to find.
My main concern is compatibility! I want a printer that is fully compatible with my macbook pro and allows me to utilize their menu services, easily access printer menus, check ink, etc. After that I just want something reliable and consistent with good product support. I will be using the printer every week during school to print notes and assignments, but not photographs and no need for a scanner. I'm not sure what other information to include but I hope I covered enough to give you guys an idea of what im looking for. Ive had trouble with DELL products in general so maybe just a different brand suggestion would be helpful but thanks ahead of time!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I don't mind wireless vs. usb as long as theres not much price difference. Also it might be worth noting that the macbook I have has no CD drive so I would want a printer that I can set up without a CD drive, thanks!

I don't have a specific recommendation, but if at all possible you should choose an AirPrint-enabled printer from the (possibly incomplete) list in the linked support article. It will need no software or configuration, and will work with iOS devices.

What is the best and affordable printer for macbook pro?

hi.... i have difficulties in printing my assignments... which i need to save my work using my thumbdrive then open it at windows to print....therefore, i want to buy a printer that can works with my macbook pro...what is your advice? i have tried to install hp printer but cant support my mac...really need your advice before i buy the new printer..

It sounds as if you need a multi-function printer, with both wireless and AirPrint capabilities. A laser printer is usually back-and-white only, although there are color laser printers. Injest are probably the most common but they can go through some ink, resulting in some hefty cash being laid out for ink (although color laser printers have, likely, the highest consumable costs).
I've had good luck, over the decades, with Canon inkjet printers. Take a look at the Canon website and look at the "3-in-1" inkjet printers that offer wireless and AirPrint capabilities, copy functions, and scanner functionality as well.
Good luck,

Help needed with existing printer for MacBook

Apologies if this question is in the wrong section of the forum - please feel free to move it!
I am new to the "Apple Experience" and have had this superb MacBook for a couple of week now. I need to connect my existing laser printer, a Samsung ML-1750 to the MacBook and so far, I have had no joy. The Samsung website is not a lot of help with regard to downloading a Mac driver and while the MacBook seems to have found the ML-1750, when printing, the printer just outputs a load of garbage! From where do I obtain the correct driver!
Please help!
Thanks, Dan

Hi Dan,

Need new printer for MacBook

I'm distressed! Can anyone tell me which black and white reasonably priced printers work with my MacBook? I want information from those who have printers that are USB plugin and work right out of the box with a MacBook. I am so confused by everything being offered and the Apple site lists so few basic printers (everything is for photos).
Thanks,
Lisa...

Any USB printer will work provided there's an OS X compatible printer driver. You can check this list of printers known to be compatible. You can also check the manufacturer's support web site to determine if an OS X compatible driver is available for that printer. Buying from a vendor that supports Apple will also be helpful since they are not likely to sell printers that will not work with Macs.
Most non-laser printers being sold today are all color capable as well as black and white. It may be difficult to find a non-laser printer that only prints black and white.
Hewlett-Packard, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, and Canon, for example, all have many different models that are compatible (but not all models are compatible.)

Single function printer for MacBook OS 10.6 ?

I recently upgraded my Mac to OS 10.6 and find that there is no printer driver for the Lexmark Z615 printer I've been happily using. Can anyone suggest a good inexpensive single function printer that will run with my MacBook OS 10.6? I do not need bells and whistles, just the ability to print b&w and color. Thanks!

Hi Justin,
Thanks so much for your comment! The printer driver for this printer and OS 10.6 doesn't exist yet; I've checked with Lexmark on that. I'm really just looking for a printer - don't do photos, don't need a scanner, fax, etc and the printer needs to have a very small footprint as I don't have much space on my desk. I'll keep looking and will check out HP at your suggestion.

What is the best wireless printer for MacBook Air

I am a new Mac user and have the new MacBook Air. I want to buy a wireless printer but have no idea which one would be best. I have always liked HP printers for my PC. Thank you!

We have owned several HP printers through the years, but I have been very surprised with Epson. I would highly recommend the Epson WorkForce printer. It's an all in one so it does it all.

Wireless or Network Printer for MacBook Pro?

I'm looking for a new printer to replace my HP PhotoSmart. I'm very frustrated with the performance and the hassles communicating with it on my network. If you have found a good "non-HP" printer/scanner for my mac, that I can communicate with wirelessly or on my Apple Airport Extreme wifi network, I'd sure like to hear about it. I used to own a Canon, and it seemed to work well. I guess it should have AirPrint capabilities too, and work well with Mountain Lion.
Any suggestions would be VERY appreciated.
Cheers, Shiba Dog

The AEBS is a wireless router, not a cable modem. A good cable modem is the Motorola 5120 but it is not wireless.
Yes, the AEBS is pricey but it's an excellent product. However, if you wish not to spend that kind of money there are less expensive products by LinkSys, Belkin, D-Link and others. However, none have any Mac support although most all of them will work with Macs - some better than others.

Multifunctional Printer for Macbook Pro

Hello, lovely Community!
I am looking for a multifunctional laser-printer (or, if its better ink-printer) with fax and scanfunction. I had very bad experience wit Samsung CLX3175. Maybe one of you have a recommandation for me?
Thank you very much and have a nice day.
Oliver

Well no answers or recommends fro the community so been out and bought an HP Photosmart Premium (half price at £114.99 + 2 £10 vouchers to spend making it less than £95). Will post in a couple of days and give an update how it is performing (or not).

Printing from MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010 running 10.8.2 ... persistent inability for Apple MacBook Pro to print to a variety of HP printers (have run Windows and Ubuntu on Parallels and same printers work) ... what is going on with Apple printer support?

What is wrong with Apple's support of printers ... inability for MacBook Pros to connect with HP and other printers. Yet the same printers
work under Mac OS based Parallels (running Windows or Ubuntu) - WHY? Finger pointing (HP . Apple ... Apple > HP) ... who cares ... FIX IT ... this has gone on for months now. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

HP discontinued support (read: stopped updating their OS X printer drivers) for a lot of their printers back when Apple released Snow Leopard and dropped even more when Lion was released. This is an HP problem, not an Apple problem.
Exacty what printers are you having problems with?
If any of your printers are on the HPIJS list, try installing the HPIJS drivers (there are 3 files to install, and it won't hurt anything). This solved the issue for me on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt. Lion with my older HP printers.
