Scanner/printer Recommendations

Any recommendations for a decent scanner / printer (all-in-one unit)?
I'm looking to replace one in my home office. Will hardwire it to the Time Capsule. Needs to work with Adobe CS3.
Fax capabilities would be a big plus, (I have a small office, one less machine would be great.)
For fun, let's keep price out of the equation - the sky's the limit.

Hi Beach-Comber
If I was to replace my 4 year old Epson CX4200 that's printed thousands of great photos, it would definitely be with another Epson all-in-one product.

Printer RECOMMENDATIONS/Suggestions

I would love one or all of your wireless printer recommendations.
I had an HP and it wasn't great. Now I have a Cannon PIXMA and the colors are pale and can't scan wirelessly and just doesn't interact well with the Mac.
What are your best suggestions for a wireless all-in-one printer?

I've had good luck with my Epson Artisan 810.

HT1338 Need software for my Mac to use my Cannon MX 340 Scanner / Printer

Need software for my Mac to use my Cannon MX 340 Scanner / Printer

The latest software I found for that model was for Mac OS 10.7.
I expect you are running Mac OS 10.8 or Mavericks in which case contact Canon and see if they have updated their drivers for your MX 340 Scanner / Printer.

How to pair Cloud software with an Epson 545 Scanner/Printer? [was:Help!]

I have an Epson 545 Scanner/Printer. Recently I purchased a Creative Cloud 1 year program. However I cannot pair the 2 together which means that the Craeative Cloud Program is useless. What must I do to get them to work together?

Calibrate the computer screen. You will need an external device to do this properly.
In Editor, go to Edit>Color settings and check "Optimize Colors for Computer Screens"
In Editor, go to File>print>More options (lower left on the dialog)>Color Management Tab>Color Handling drop-down - select "Printer Manages Colors". Under Rendering Intent, select "Relative Colorimetric"

WPS Printer Recommendations

We recently purchased an HP LJ m451nw printer and have failed to get it paired correctly with our Airport Extreme WIFI network (latest firmware). The problem is apparently with HP firmware. That's a long and unrelated frustrating story.
My question is what WIFI printer recommendations have folks had success with, on a similar config?
The problems I'm trying to solve:
* Make the WIFI printer available to everyone on the Airport Extreme network
* Also, have the printer use both network connections (LAN and WIFI, something HP cannot do)
I probably should have inquired here first. :-)
The environment is a medium-sized office, so that would be factored in the size and quality of printer. B&W only is fine, too -- ours just happens to be color.
Thank you in advance.

When you use HP stuff.. in a network.. WPS can be a problem.. but on the apple WPS system did you try first attempt not pin.. apparently most HP will not work with pin.
I have good reports of Brother.. I personally still use the older series HP with EIO slots.. Or MIO I think they became.. Sometimes old printers are better than new ones.
Ethernet or wireless will make no difference.. it is a network printer.. once on the network it should be accessible to every computer.. BUT airprint only works to wireless.. so that is the more important one.
As a work around.. there is nothing wrong with buying a cheap little TP-Link (or any of the china brands) N lite routers.. $30 or so.. and use it as AP on the network for the HP in particular or any PC .. that will still allow it to be used by any device on the network and even airprint should work.

How do I make PSE 11 recognize my scanner/printer?

PSE 11 does not recognize my scanner/printer. How do I make it connect?

For scanner you need to move Twain plugin from Optional to Plugins directory. Here is the article to help you out with the same http://helpx.stage.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/twain-installed-photoshop-elements-11.h tml
Make sure you have updated TWAIN drivers installed for your scanner.
Thanks,

Epson Scanner/Printer

I just installed Arch64, and really dig this distro. However, I am trying to set it up with my Epson CX4900 all in one scanner/printer. I have installed sane, xsane, and Kooka, I am having trouble installing/compiling Iscan however. On my previous openSUSE install, it uses "iscan-free" driver.
When the system boots up it correctly detects it being connected to my USB. However, when i run "sane-find-scanner" i get this message.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x082b [USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed)]) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
I am at a loss about what to do next to access this scanner.
Help appreciated, and thanks in advance.

With Arch I never managed to get iscan running with my Epson Perfection 1260 Photo. With plustek backend it's working, but I like iscan better (with epkowa backend) because it provides a faster scan and better colors in result. I would appreciate any ideas...

HT204135 Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions? Thanx

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions?

I had to contact Canon Tech Support and had to re load the driver softwear using the OS X 10.7 choice, since the 10.8 choice is not there yet. Also had to download the opener and after 45 minutes I had solved the problem. The steps are too many to go into all the details but that is the genral idea. It should work for others.

A3 Printer Recommendation

My canon 9000 printer has died so need new - A3 Printer - Recommendation on a printer that will operate on my old power mac G5 - OS X 10.5.8 would be very much appreciated

Welcome, Wombat!
I don't have a specific recommendation for an A#-capable unit (not a common size in my corner of the world) but can relate my experiences with finding printers for older Macs.
In helping a friend get a printer for an old Mac, we found no current multifunctions that did not require an Intel processor, something the G5 lacks. However, we did find some inexpensive print-only ink jets from Canon and Brother that, by getting drivers from their web sites, would support as far back as G3 processors and Mac OS10.3.9. We set him up with a Canon PIXMA 3100 (I think--that was about 18 months ago!).

SMB and Network Scanner/Printer

MacBook Pro -> 10.5.6
I just received back my MacBook Pro from Apple repair last week. I reinstalled from Time Machine and all is fine . . . except . . . file sharing to Windows.
We have a network scanner/printer on the network. I can print with no problems to the printer. I cannot get a scan sent to my computer from the printer/scanner. And yes this worked fine before.
1. I have SMB enabled and entered in my password.
2. I have repaired permissions
3. Windows computers cannot see my computer. (I see the name however, I cannot access the folders.
4. The scanner/printer which has worked fine till my repair at apple (new HD) is not working anymore. Says computer is not found.

Unless your problem is identical to one in an existing post, it's rarely appropriate to tack a post onto an existing thread. Also, as Apple doesn't officially monitor this discussion group, this isn't the best place to request anything from Apple. Unless this is what you meant by "submitted a feature request", you might have better luck posting here:

I have an all-in-one HP 3180 which i purchased from Apple with a new Mac. I recently connected it to my new 2TB time machine but now I cannot scan.
Please don't confuse "Time Machine" (backup software that's included with Mac OS X) with "Time Capsule" (an Apple Wi-Fi router with an integrated disk drive).
Is it too much to ask that HP & apple work together to create a solution to provide for scanning support over TC.
I don't know. Have you contacted HP technical support? Does either Apple or HP represent that they support what you're trying to do?
If it's possible to share the scanner when it's connected to a mac why not when it's connected to a TC.
Perhaps because a Mac has specific drivers for such a scanner, while a Time Capsule doesn't.

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

Thanks, PAHU, for providing the Australian site for the Canon driver. I have an MP500 and it still seemed to print fine after I downloaded Yosemite. However, as others have reported, the MP Navigator no longer performed normally in scanning. The "Save As" keys didn't align and therefore didn't work but one could still scan using an alternative method ("Scan with scanner driver" button).
In any case, my hard drive subsequently failed on this 2010 27" iMac and when it was replaced the tech installed Yosemite 10.10.1. Just tried printing this evening and it wouldn't. Advised I needed undefined "software." Got various error messages. Went to Google and read this and downloaded that to no avail. Tried the Gutenprint driver but it too didn't work. Latest error was "stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter." Had no clue what that meant! System info listing for the printer (under About this Mac, System Info) lacked any reference to permissions or a printer utility version (but I didn't notice or know significance of omissions). Finally I downloaded from the Australian site, just the print driver 10.51.2. The printer then printed!!! (The MP Navigator scanner remains flawed but works by clicking "Scan with scanner driver" rather than the normal way.) I'm holding my breath that things will continue to work.
Thanks again, PAHU, for your help, and Greg and Pam and Andy too!

Can someone recommend a good multi-function scanner/printer/copier that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

I've just purchased a Canon Image Class MF4570dn. Very disappointed to find that whatever I do I cannot get the scanner to work & the Apple support board is of no help.
It seems like there is a conflict with OS 10.6.8 that does not let the scanner get recognized by any scanning software -- either the Mac native software in Preview or the Canon software included on CD with the box & via download from Canon's site. The Canon software is called "MF Toolbox" but for the life of me I can't get it to start without instantly crashing!
Any suggestions of set-ups that are working with you on a similar system set-up would be much appreciated!

This is discouraging! I ended up trying Canon because my Macbook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing my previous HP scanner -- a MF inkjet printer.
I have been looking at HP multi-function lasers in lieu of this faulty Canon I just returned.
I intend to be doing very simple things with whatever MF unti I end upw ith -- no printing or scanning over the network. I'm happy to connect it directly to my computer via USB. So I'm not sure I'd experience the problems you are having.
Maybe I should go w/ one of these Brother units? Is there anyone on this board that can attest to these machines working with MacBook Pros?

Laser printer recommendations please

I need a printer that will work well with my 2008 iMac (Snow Lep) ideally wirelessly. I need printing, scanning and copying - not huge quantities but need the quality to be good. My budget is around £150 and if I can find something that doesn't require cartridges that cost £1m each that would be a bonus! There is so much contradictory info out there any recommendations would be gratefully received.

got a Samsung SCX-4500W
it's laserprinter, scanner, copy
it's wifi
it works on osx it works on windows8 pro
it works on iphone and ipad (if I use the free samsung printing app)
or if I use the netgear Genie program running on one of the computers

Printer recommendations for iMAc Core Duo

Greetings! I need a recommendation from anyone who is successfully using a multi function printer with an iMac Core Duo. I am returning an EPSON CX5800f because the scanning driver does not work. The printer works great but the scanner does not. Any success stories? Thanks Billy D

Hello, again! I am back. I returned the EPSON today and I am looking at an HP OfficeJet 7310 for printing, faxing, and scannng on my iMac Core Duo running OS 10.4.6. Any one with good or bad experiences with the 7310? I received an email back from HP saying that the 7310 would work with Intel Macs but I see no such indication on their web site driver download page. Plus HP has not said that the scanning driver for the 7310 would work with the iMac Core Duo. Any comments? Thanks!

Printer Recommendation Needed

My husband needs a new low-end desktop Mac, and I have a MacBook. We share a printer connected to his desktop now, but he is unhappy with his inkjet printer and wants something better with his new system.
Any recommendations for a laser - black and white or color - to connect to his new iMac and to wirelessly network to my MacBook? Both will be using 10.5.x.
Thanks!

I have a Samsung SCX-4500, a black and white laser printer that works well with Leopard. I've been able to connect to it also over my AEBS. You can probably get the same functionality out of their lower end model that doesn't include the scanner. Both are available on the Apple Store on line.
