Recommend a cheap multifunction printer to use with macbook & eMac

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a new multifunction printer, preferably under $100.
Can anyone recommend one that's compatible with mac and that works well?
Thanks

Hey ina_J
I bought an Epson TX 100 from officeworks:
http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Printers-and-Multifunct ions/Inkjet-Multifunctions/Multifunction-Excluding-Fax/EPTX100
It's under 100 AUD, and appears there is also a $15 cashback offer at the moment (I'm not sure if the listed price includes this, I assume not it's hard for me to recall the price I paid for it.
It works well with OS X 10.5 and 10.4 for scanning+printing, and Windows if need be (use included CDs with drivers).
Ink is quite cheap, something like $15 for the full-size Black, and since each colour is separate you can also save a bit of money - though I have noticed it isn't too economical so even though the cartridges are relatively inexpensive it might be the same as other vendors once you consider the frequency you have to replace them.
Drawbacks: If an ink cartridge is apparently empty, you *cannot print* at all, this includes if Colour ink is out too. Also, related to this you can't refill the cartridges yourself as the printer will not recognise them as full.
Officeworks seem to have a number of other cheap multi-function printers, just check OS X compatibility in the system requirements for 10.5 (Leopard) on the system requirements.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your purchase!

    Trying to find the best multifunction printer for use with 10.8.4.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

    What are you looking for in a printer? Laser or inkjet? Fax as well? If inkjet & fax, I can recommend the Canon PIXMA MG922.

    How to print from iPad to a portable printer wherever you are:
    Issue: bluetooth portable printers cannot communicate or work with iPad.
    Solution: only work-around but works for me...
    1) app- PrintnShare Pro for iPad
    2) mobile hotspot, e.g., Verizon MiFi or other
    3) netbook e.g., Acer or other running windows and must use both Google Chrome browser & Google Cloud Print beta ---> assign your "classic printer" (no portable printers are "Air Print" or "e-print") in Google Chrome go to the wrench icon (top right), options, under-the-hood, and manage printers. You must let Google Cloud Print connector find your printer either hard wired to your pc on your network or via bluetooth.
    your netbook is online via wifi; when you use Print n Share Pro, it will see the portable printer as available on the google cloud. Whatever you want to print, with this app running, you will be prompted to select "open in PrintnShare Pro". When you hit print, it goes to Google Cloud, then through your wifi on netbook (or laptop), then bluetooth from your netbook/laptop to your bluetooth portable printer. Voila. Netbook/laptop can be in your briefcase, unseen. Works seamlessly. Hit print on iPad, & goes right to your HP 100 mobile printer, HP 470 mobile printer, Canon iP100, etc. Good luck.

  • I'm looking for a good replacement printer to use with MacBook Pro. I currently have an Epson 610 Series.

    Hi,
    I've had a MacBook Pro since January 2013 and and Epson 610 series printer-scanner-fax for several years. I may be replacing the printer. For my purposes (printing some articles from the internet, Word documents, book reports, and some PHOTO QUALITY PICTURES) it has worked just fine. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a printer-scanner combo (it doesn't matter if it has a fax option or not) that is MAC friendly, user-friendly, can print photo quality pictures (I do not print them often), and is reasonably priced ($300.00)? Any and all help is sincerely appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    There's a list of manufacturers of AirPrint-enabled printers on the linked page. I don't have a specific recommendation. The good thing about AirPrint is that it works with OS X as well as iOS, and there's no software to install or keep updated. The printer must be connected to a network with its built-in interface.

  • I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion my printer stop working, How do I make it work again?

    I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?

    This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

  • Can an Envy 7640 printer be used with a Google Chrome Operating system?

    Can an Envy 7640 printer be used with a Google Chrome Operating system?

    You are not going to find Chrome on the drop down list, there is no driver to install on chrome, as it doesn't support the concept of a device driver. The only way to print is using cloudprint.
    Cloudprint on a hp printer, means you get an email address for that printer by signing up for hp eprint.
    To sign up for hp eprint, simply touch the eprint icon on the printer's screen (that looks like a mobile device signaling a printer). This HP page has detailed steps: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c04327805#N57

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

  • What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?  I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

    It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
    If you are more of a designer, try these:
    RapidWeaver
    Freeway Pro
    Muse
    If you want to write web page code, try these:
    Coda
    BBEdit
    Dreamweaver
    If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
    No program at all.
    Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
    WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
    Squarespace
    Wix
    The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
    Already designed to the latest web standards
    Already designed to resist hackers
    Already designed to work on all browsers
    Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
    Already designed for accessibility
    Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
    Already designed with social media links built in if you want
    It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

    You have to use the right power adapter.
