PRINTERS FOR AN IMAC

Recommended Printers for an IMAC OSX v.10.5.4??? (Not an HP)

Just throwing my two cents in.
Never, ever an HP.
I always had trouble with the squirrely software when I had nothing but PC based machines. I recently picked up this iMac and the misery escalated. The most annoying thing about the whole process is that the installation program kept getting hung up on a file that it created during the installation.
Recently, I authorized the purchase and installation of a HP laser jet in my office per the recommendation of our IT folks. It proved to be a challenging installation for our experienced IT people. It lasted about 6 copies before it quit working. Service showed up, looked at it, made a couple of calls and announced it had something to do with a buffer board and has to be replaced.
Too many recent, consecutive, bad experiences to seriously consider HP for any future purchases.

  • Colour laser printers for iMac please ?

    Is there a particular colour laser printer that is better compatible with my iMac (based in UK)
    When i purchased my imac, at the time i wanted a printer for photos, the shop recommended a kodak - half of its functions dont work very well with imac.
    But now i need a colour laser for my imac - so looking for recommendations that work well with Snow leopard.

    You mentioned some office-level multifunction copier, though, costing more: which one would that be?
    The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 with the Booklet Finisher-M1. This finisher will fold and saddle-stitch your booklet on the fly for up to 5 sheets of A4 paper - making a 20 page booklet. And the printer driver for OS X will re-order the pages in your document so you don't have to get the page order correct before you send the print job.

    Can any one recommend a basic color printer for my IMac Intel OS X 10.4.11?

    Try downloading the software from here after deleting what you've already installed from /Library/Printers/hp:

  • What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27?

    What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27 from 2009?

    I bought a Hewlett-Packard M451dn color laser jet. I'm happy with it.
    I selected it after having a horrible experience with a low-cost Xerox color laser jet.
    The things I like the best:
    Fast warm-up time. No waiting around like solid-ink printers from Xerox have.
    No odor. Solid-ink printers have a smell like baked crayons.
    Very good print quality - real Postscript.
    Duplex printing (both sides of the paper)
    I connect to it wirelessly through my Airport; I connect an ethernet cable from the printer to the Airport then my Mac communicates wirelessly.

  • Hello friends, what printer do you recommend for the iMac OS X Mt Lion?

  • I need to buy an External Portable HD 500GB for my iMac OSX 10.4.11 (PowerPc 2004). Can anybody please tell me a few Names/Products that are compatible? Please if you can, just tell me some product name, instead what generical characteristics it needs :s

    Hello
    I have been reading forums and forums and after days of research l gave up.
    Unfortunately it seems that nobody has provided a name of a brand yet.
    Although the effort is very admirable, l am still at the point of finding myself back at square one, with an unanswered question:
    Which portable external HD 500GB should l purchase for my iMac 10.4.11 (Power PC 2004)?
    I know there are many different ones, but l hope at least somebody can suggest one.
    A clear Name of a Product that matches the compatibility.
    I am not an expert of computer and so all the theoretical explanations of technical characteristics mean next to nothing to me :(
    I hope that someone kind enough to halo me out with this will be able to let me know.
    My most greatefull thank you to you all in advance :)

    I bought Pages and Numbers for my iMac and so far everything was OK.
    Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud.
    Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded to iCloud. There is a sign  (small shape of iCloud), that they are waiting to be uploaded to iCloud.
    I think the iCloud is OK.
    i can see and manage documents in iCloud. i can create them on iPad and  see them and delete them in iCloud.
    But not on iMac.
    i dont know what has happened and I am not abble to find the solution. It was OK till some days ago….

    I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac if I already have it for my MacBook?

    I have Leopard on my iMac, and Snow Leopard on my MacBook (both with all available updates)~I tried to use the Snow Leopard Install DVD from the MacBook to upgrade the iMac, but it said "Mac OS X 10.6 cannot be installed on this computer."  Why???  Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac?  Are there different upgrades for the iMac vs. MacBook?
    I think I understand that once I have both computers on Snow Leopard, the Lion upgrade would be ONE upgrade for BOTH computers {I'm guessing I would need the client version for at home use}.  Also, once Lion was on one computer, would I just go into the Mac App store on the other one and download the upgrade on the other one?  But no additional fee would be charged?  Lastly, I read about the combo option that includes all updates to Lion since it's release~would that be the main Lion upgrade on the Mac App or would I have to search for it?
    Thanks for your help!

    The disc you used would have been the install disc that came with your Mac. These can only be used on that as they are made for that specific model.
    Make sure your machine meets requirements
    Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    At least 2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later (Mac OS X 10.6.8 is recommended)
    7 GB of free hard drive space is recommended
    Once you've purchased it would be a good idea to create a bootable DVD or USB

  • How do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.

    how do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.  My iMac is the 24" Late 2006 model.  I recall that there is a cord for plugging in a second monitor, but I want to make sure that i can use both monitors side-by-side at the same time.  thank you.

    If the Display supports DVI, then you will need a > Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
    If the Display only supports VGA, then you wiil need a > Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
    Noting that the (digital) DVI is far better than the (analog) VGA connection.

  • How do i find the url for my iMac

    How di I find the URL for my iMac?

    Can you explain in more detail what you mean? A URL is the address of a website - such as Apple.com or Harvard.edu. A computer will only have a URL if it has been set up as a web server and has name servers pointing to it (so that people looking for yourcomputer.com will be sent to the right place).
    Conversely, every computer has an IP address, which is numerical. If you're connected directly to your internet, you will have a public IP address (it might look like 245.46.120.30, for example). Most people connect to the internet through a router, though, which gives them a private IP address only visible within their own network (something like 192.168.1.4).

  • How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
