What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

    What is the best wireless camera that will work with my mac?

    Any reliable brand that claims Mac compatibility.
    Different wireless cams (wi-fi versus BlueTooth) may work better for different purposes, so ask your retailer for one that best does what you want to do with it.  For some examples of all kinds and types, click the link at the end of this sentence to see results of this search for your posted question.

  • What are the web host options that will work with iWeb?

    What are the web host options that will work with iWeb?

    Most website hosting services will work with iWeb created sites so long as you choose a Linux account.
    If you are new to FTP, you should choose a host who has good 24/7 tech support in your language of choice.
    A couple of examples are shown here...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    The first one allows a trial period and a 30 day money back deal. The second has a free version which you can subsequently upgrade to a paid one with more facilities once you are satisfied with its performance. This means you don't have to commit or pay until you are satisfied and have learned the techniques.
    iWeb gives you two options for publishing via FTP...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    The latter method allows you to add tags for SEO...

    ... and to optimize iWeb's bloated code for faster download performance in the browser...

  • Looking for a WiFi printer that will work with my Nexus WiFi hotspot

    On a recommendation, we have bought an Epson NX530 WiFi-enabled printer.  It does not work with the WiFi hotspot feature of my Galaxy Nexus.  The support tech at Epson suggested that we get a WiFi router rather than trying to use the Galaxy Nexus.  I told her that I would rather trash the NX530 and get a printer that would work with my phone.
    So we have 3 questions:
    1) does anyone know how to make an Epson NX530 work via the Galaxy Nexus hotspot?
    2) does anyone know of a different WiFi enabled printer that works with the Galaxy Nexus?
    3) does anyone know if the Galaxy Nexus is inherently unable to work with any WiFi printer?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    This website should be able to assist you.  http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/galaxy-nexus-help/8520-wifi-printing.html   I use an app called Printhand from the Google Play Store for my Android tablet and smart phones. I have a Canon  Pixima 3220 that functions great. I also have a higher end HP Envy D410a that also works great with printhand.  The Canon is cheap at BJ's at $40 when I bought it. The HP is about $269 at Staples and other outlets.  Good Luck

    Canon Pixma iP4950 works great with my PPC G5 iMac on Leopard. Maybe other of their models do as well.

  • HP photo printer that will work with a separate HP scanner

    I need to replace an old HP printer that doesn't have Full Function capabilities with Windows 7.  HP Tech Support told me they DO NOT recommend using more than one scanner per computer, so told me not to buy an All-in-One printer to use with my HP ScanJet G4050 scanner.  Possible software issues in the future.  
    Problem:  I'm having a difficult time finding a single function inkjet printer that will print quality photos and has photo black ink.  It must be fully compatible with Windows 7 & 8.  This has become a nightmare as it's nearly impossible to find a newer single function printer that does high quality photos.  HP seems to focus on the all-in-ones that don't have the capabilities of the older Photosmarts.  Such as separate photo tray, photo ink, gray ink, etc.
    I currently have a Photosmart 8150 printer that does a great job on photos and has photo black as well as gray ink for printing color and black and white photos.  You can't find a comparable printer like that anymore!  HP needs to realize that there are a lot of customers out there looking for a good quality photo printer like their old Photosmarts of 10 years ago.  HP needs to pay attention to their customers and provide support for their older photo printers AND manufacture printers with the same functions as their older models!
    Suggestions on new photo printers would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Yes.

  • Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?

    I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
      Thanks :)

    You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

  • Need suggestions for photo printer that will work with a dedicated HP G4050 scanner on Windows 7

    I was told by HP Tech Support that they didn't recommend I try to run an all-in-one printer and a dedicated scanner on the same PC.  Dilemma is that most photo printers sold today are also all-in-ones.   Also, many all-in-ones don't seem to rate very high on photo quality.   Do I end up buying two printers - one for text and another for photos or what?  
    Your input is welcome as I've researched this problem for a long time and don't know what printer to buy!  Thank you. 

    Yes, I do know that; but the basic driver doesn't allow all of the menu options on the printer to work.  For instance, it won't tell me how much ink is left in each cartridge, etc.
    I'm debating whether to just keep my old Photosmart 8150 and keep plugging along until it dies and then worry about replacing it OR keep looking for a new one.
    Problem is that HP Tech Support told me that they DON'T recommend I use an all-in-one printer AND a dedicated scanner together due to possible software issues.  Since most of the photo printers made this year seem to be AIO's it's been a very difficult experience finding an older printer that has a Full Solution Driver in WIN 7 and/or 8!  Oh, you can find some but they cost an arm and a leg even at used prices!  
    Anyone with experience using an HP dedicated scanner AND a printer is welcome to jump in and give me some feedback. Thank you so much!  : )

  • What GPU can I upgrade to that will work with my computer?

    Hello, I am lookign to upgrade my GPU in my HP H8-1234. About a year and half ago I upgraded my Radeon hd 7450 to a XFX radeon hd 7750. The card worked well, just for what I am doing with it (Gaming) it doesn't work as well as I would like. So I recently ordered a Gigabyte gtx 660, at the time I did not know about the bios locks that HP puts on their computers. So now I have the GPU sitting on my desk, useless. Luckily I can return it with no restock fee. The problem with it is that it boots, and then just sits on this screen that say press ESC to enter setup, or something like that. By the way my motherboard is a m3970am-hp. So I guess I have 2 questions.
    1) Is there anything I can do to use the 660?
    2) Assuming that the 660 is useless to me, what GPU is better than my 7750, and is compatible with my motherboard?

    Hi,
    You didn't indicate that you had upgraded your power supply. You need a 500+ watt power supply to power the 660 watt.
    If you had already upgraded your power supply then it's possible that the NVIDIA 660 was flashed for UEFI mode. Your PC is running in legacy mode since you are running WIndows 7.  You can verify legacy mode is enabled in the bios. If this is the case then RMA the NVIDIA 660 back to the video card manufacturer and request that it be flashed or exchanged for a NVIDIA 660 that will run in non-UEFI mode (legacy mode).
