USB connected all-in-one printers

Ok, so I know this will probably sound like the same old question answered again, but, is it possible to get full functionality from a USB connected all-in-one printer/scanner? In particular a Canon Pixma MP540. This is a printer sold from the Apple store, and so, I would have thought it would have been vetted by Apple experts. If it is not, then why is it not made more obvious in the Time capsule literature? Is it possible to rectify this by a software upgrade? Or is scanning just not possible via the USB connection? Any further light shed on this subject would be sincerely appreciated.

I also have an MP540 and was unable to setup the printer while connected to my AEBS. It could connect but the MP540 is brand new and was not available as a drop down choice. Thus I had to download a driver from the Canon site. This allowed me to get connected and setup and everything seemed fine.
However,as you say, only the printing function works. From what I can tell, this is not an Apple/Canon specific issue. It seems multi-functions just "cannot" operate normally when shared via routers. For now I just run a second USB cable over to the printer and switch it over when I want to scan. I intend to get a USB switch so I can just push a button to switch back and forth.
I too am curious if this is something that technically can be done via software. Perhaps somebody has written a utility to do this.
I should note, I though everything was fine with printing. However, it isn't, so I have started another thread because when I print various files (PDF's) they print at a zoom level and thus no longer fit properly on the page.

I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in one. Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?

Great information.

The HP (USB connected) and Epson (wireless) printers keep losing their connection with my Mac mini. I have to physically disconnect the HP and then reconnect for the Mac to find it. Turning off the wireless Epson doesn't work. All software is updated.

All in One Printers for AE?

I've just returned to the Mac world after years with Windows. I've spent many hours trying to get an older HP printer to work with both XP SP2 desktop and wireless with my new MacBook Pro. It did work, but with some issues after research on this forum. However, when upgrading to Leopard, I lost the ability to print from the MacBook.
The printer is old, so I thought I'd just buy a new printer that is compatible with Airport Extreme. However, both Lexmark and HP only list discontinued printers as compatible with AE. Does anyone know if there are any new All in One printers that will work with AE? Or is the best solution to buy something that I hook up to the desktop and then print from the MacBook by sharing the printer? I only need to print wirelessly through the All-in-One. I don't use the scanner, but need to fax and copy occasionally.
Thanks!!!

It doesn't seem to me that I can find any printers that are current to buy that are compatible with AE. Is this correct?
It's not as though they are not compatible, it's more no one has either updated the manufacturers' lists or has tested and asked for it to be added to the unofficial list.
Some of the low end HP AIO (all-in-one) printers will only work though the USB port of an Airport base station through the use of third party drivers, and usually the P1000 PhotoSmart driver which (for some people) does not allow for good printing results.
You are either best to connect the AIO to a specific computer or purchase an AIO which either has an ethernet connection or is wireless.

Trying to install multiple All in One Printers on new laptop

Got a new HP Envy laptop running Windows 8.1. Replacing old HP running XP. Trying to install two HP All in One printers on my home wireless network HP 6500 E709n and a HP 7410. I am stuck in an infinte loop using the HP Print and Scan Doctor. I load up one printer Driver using the downloads on the website. When I go to load the other printer, the system won't let me continue until I uninstall the previous printer driver and accessy software.
Anyone know how to get around it?

Hello again,
Thanks for getting back to me!
Next, I would suggest uninstalling all of the printer software on your computer, performing a clean boot and then reinstalling the OJ 7410 first and then the OJ 6500. Here are the steps and links in order for you.
Uninstalling the Printer Software
Restart the PC
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Restart the PC
Download and Install - HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One Printer

I hope this works for you!

Ccould you tell me the name of a all in one printers that i can use on mac and pc, could you tell me the name of a all in one printers that i can use on mac and p

could you tell me the name of a all in one printers that i can use on mac and pc, can i buy it in apple store

What version of OS X are you using? If it's recent (Snow Leopard or Lion), almost all the newest all-in-one printers (regardless of brands and models) are compatible with both Windows (XP and over) and OS X. Finding a network-operated (or shared) printer could prove more difficult, of course.
Now, buying one in an Apple Store is another matter, first because I'm not sure you can find printers there (I may be wrong, and it may depend on how big the Apple Store is; I don't remember seeing any in the Paris Apple Stores I went to, namely at the Louvres and near the Opera), and second because you're bound to pay a lot more for one in an Apple Store than in, say, a department store or an electronics retailer.
Here's a little food for thought: http://www.macbroadband.co.uk/mac-compatible/best-printers-for-apple-macs/

Are there any new All-in-one printers for sale that use the CLI-221 cartridges?

We have a MX870 Printer that needs to be replaced but new cartridges were just purchased from Canon. Are there any new All-in-one printers for sale that use the CLI-221 cartridges?
Thanks,
Margaret

The MX922 (known as the MX926 in Australia) is supported by 10.10 and Windows 7. Whatever site you were looking at may not have updated their details. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site showing the drivers and applications for this model for 10.10.

Faxing from all-in-one printers

Hi,
Has anyone setup SAP faxing via those all-in-one printers?
A typical example is to fax PO to vendors. The vendor fax number can be setup as part of the vendor info.
Does it mean that I set the fax (printer) as a printer in SPAD?
What else should I do to set it up?
Thanks

You can't just set it up as a fax... you need a fax server in order to send faxes (I.E. Rightfax)... basically the way it works is that you create a node in SCOT for faxes and send the data to the fax server via SMTP and the fax server deliver the fax to your hardware.
Check the SMTP guide,

What all-in one printers work with Lion?

What all-in-one printers work with Lion?

kennethfromtoronto wrote:
For Lion installation the recommendation was not to use the drivers on the included disk, but to download them directly from the Epson support site. I managed to install with no difficulties. Now the NX430 is working seamlessly with 15" MBP (Lion, 10.7.2); 13" MBP (Snow Leopard, 10.6.8); 27" iMac (Snow Leopard, 10.6.8); 15" Dell (Win7). I am sorry to hear that it did not work for you.
Ditto, most Printer/scanner manufacturers are getting up to date with Lion compatable drivers now. Most are available from their websites. Some still want to install old scanner software which is PPC so will have to downgrade to SL again, because they won't look for Lion compatable software. I find VueScan still an excellant program which works fine with my 3 yr old Cannon Pixma.

Connecting All-in-One printer/scanner to Airport Extreme Issue

I just bought a new Epson NX430 all in one printer/scanner. I hooked it up to the aiport extreme. Network printing and AirPrint work flawlessly.
My problem comes when I want to scan. I can't seem to figure out how to allow my desktop to accept scanned images from the Scanner.
What I think I may need to do is keep the printer attached to the airport by the usb as well as by wifi, that way i can still airprint through the airport but scan to my iMac.
Does anyone have a way for me to not have two available printers in my iMac?
Thanks.

Bonjour only allows the print function to work when a multi-function printer is connected to the USB port on the AirPorts.
The bottom line here is that if you need the advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance, etc, the printer cannot be connected to the USB port on the AirPort routers.....since only the print function is supported at the USB port.
If you need full functionality, you have 3 possible options:
Connect the printer directly to USB port on a computer
Connect the printer (if capable) using an Ethernet cable to any LAN Ethernet port on your router or AirPort
Connec the printer (if capable) using wireless

How to connect All in One desk top with TV

I purchased my HP Pavillion 23 A10 All in one desk top PC more than a year ago.Few days ago, some marks appeared on the screen whilst I was using my computer and look like that some one smashed the screen with a stone. I consulted with one of my friend and in his opinion, the screen was damaged due to the impact of some hard thing, though I don't agree with him as it happened when I was using the computer all of sudden.
Can any one help me to sort out this problem?
Also, I want to connect it with the TV to make sure that it's screen problem, but there is no VGA or any other sort of arrangement on this All in one computer. So, could you please help me how to do it as well?
My computer is HP Pavillion 23 A10 and the model is 23-b010 ea and it's very difficult to use the controls as the problem is on the right side of the screen with horizontal lines on the whole screen.

Hi,
Nearly all AIO machines do not have monitor out ports. Many have HDMI in ports. My suggestion: buy an USB video card and you can connect to your TV such as the following cheap version:

a bit more with HDMI:

Windows 7 and HP All in One Printers

Have you just brought a new PC with Windows 7 or upgraded from Windows Vista and now having problems with your Printer / All in One.
1) Are you running the latest version of HP Software designed for Windows 7?
Please go to Hp.com and choose Support and Drivers
then type in your printer model number and follow the directions on the page.
2) Do you print but nothing comes out the printer, and the job just disappears from the spooler?
The fix is available here

3) Can you scan but your Scanned files just disappear, not in the directory you thought they should be.
The fix is available here
Cannot find scanned image or document files after scanning completes.
4) Does HP Solution Center say that your printer is no longer installed?
The fix is only applicable for people who have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7

Can not connect All in one 209b to new router for wireless printing....

Have an HP laptop and All in one priner 209b. All was working fine, wired and wireless printing. Then we had to upgrade our ATT Uverse router. Everything works...even wireless laptop and printer when connected to laptop. However, can't get printer to printer wireless since it has the old router info. I used the disk but when it asks to you to pick the printer, I choose the printer but it says printer now found ??? what ???? and this is with the cable connected. I do not have the wizard on the touch screen but I did reset to factory settings hoping it would load new router info but it does not. How do you manually enter router into for wireless printing. Is it best to delete the printer and reinstall as new...wired and then wireless ???
I am about to call an outsite company and pay the outrageous charge as the help on HP is not working. Thanks

Which wireless all in one printers work best with ipad 4

Please help me decide which wireless all in one printer works best with the ipad 4. I am looking for better photo printing quality, but not the very best. I am concerned mainly with being able to set up the printer using only my ipad 4 and wireless router, as I do not own a PC with a cd/rom. I am also interested in which brand of compatible printers is less expensive to buy ink and paper for. I would prefer a more compact unit. Thank you in advance for any advice.

These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as anyone else's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.
