What is the best all-in-one printer for an eMac?

My old Epson Stylus Color 777i has just died. I need to buy a new printer/scanner/copier and ideally, a photolab. Which is the best one which is compatible with my eMac? I have Mac OS 10.3.9. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I saw a great all-in-one advertised on a homeshopping network but can't remember which one it was and whether or not it was compatible with Macs. It even had 4 separate inkjet cartridges so you don't have to replace the whole color cartridge and waste leftover ink! And it could take at least 4-5 different digital camera cartridges too. Anyone have any ideas? Many, many thanks,
lablady

Brett, and everyone who responded:
I want to thank all of you who responded to my question. I had to buy something quickly (within a day or 2 of posting) and most of your recommendations were not in stock at my local stores. Which probably means others have had success with them too and they can't keep them in stock for any length of time. I ended up buying a Brother MFC-5840CN. A 6-in-one: copier, printer, fax, scanner, photolab and photolab w/computer and it has 4 separate inkjet cartridges. And the day I bought it was the last day of a sale. Good timing! I've done a LOT of printing on this thing in the past 2-1/2 months and I have yet to run out of any of the original ink!! I'm impressed so far!
Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you who gave me your input. I researched all of the ones you suggested and had to go with quick availability as well as the 4 separate inkjet cartridges as well as price ($150 or under, if at all possible).
Many, many thanks,
lablady

    Any that advertise Airprint compability will work for printing. Note that you can't use the scanning or faxing features of an all-in-one with an iPad.

    Hello i am new to photoshop and would like to really make some fantastic photos and video for my family and friends. I want to add effects to video and Edit photos to the 10th degree. Can someone please recommend an Adobe program. Should i get CS4 extended should i get master suite? Also where can i watch Video Tutorials that start from the basic and lead to the complex. Thanks in advance

    What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?
    There is no such thing. If there were, nobody would bother writing different applications. If you are primarily focused on still image editing and video, Adobe Production Premium is the way to go. You can find any number of tutorials just by searching Google and many good ones are linked from the Adobe help systems as well.

  • What is the best all-in-one printer out there today

    I have a home office.  I have been running either Canon or Epson printers for years.  My Canon MP830 is dying - I am getting a blac stripe down the middle of every paper.  I need a new all-in-one printer.  I want it to work wirelessly and the ink should be reasonably priced.  I need it to scan easily and print in both color and black & white.  I do not print photos too often it is mostly day-to-day stuff so it does not have to have the higest quality output. I looked at the Apple Store and Apple seems to be recommending Epson.  But Apple seems to go through stages ... a couple of years ago it was almost exclusively Canon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi all,  I very specifically put what was important to me and my needs in this post.  I am looking for opinions and experiences from other Mac users.  I also read reviews but those cna be influenced by advertisers.  That is why I am posting in this discussion group - to get feedback from like-minded users. Postings from my fellow Apple users that tell me if someone has actually purchased an Epson 545 and truly likes it, or was dissappointed in their HP, or has some issues with their Canon ... all of that will be helpful. Thanks.

  • What's the best all in one printer on the market today for mac?

    All of the reviews by the media and users contradict each other leaving me very indecisive. I was thinking about the Epson Workforce 645 but one review said it wasn't compatible with Lion (and who knows if it will be compatible with Mountain Lion?). Does anyone have a newer model all in one that they love? I plan to use it with my macbook pro and use a wireless airport connection. Thanks

    All printer manufacturer's play "catch-up" with OS revisions.  If a printer doesn't work immediately with the latest OS, you should check the manufacturer's website.  Here's a laugh: I purchased an Epson EPL-5700i monochrome laser printer a dozen years ago, for "only" $500.  With all of the changes in Macs and the OS, I've never been not able to use the printer.  Either Apple or the vendor has made printer driver software available seamlessly.

  • I am trying to find the best all in one printer for my macbook pro with retina display. Any ideas?

    What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

    That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone.  Theyre darn good printer too.  I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities.  One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.  Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI. 

  • What Is The Best All-round Canvas Size For A Web Browser

    What is the best all-round canvas size when authoring a swi
    for a web browser? by this I mean best for authoring without
    scrollbars. I know a chap whose screen res is 800x600 and who has
    every single toolbar displayed in IE, leaving around 400pixels in
    height free. For crying out loud.
    I once sat with a bloke who uses Courier New set at 36pt as
    his default browser font. Ouch. I sat there transfixed, not
    believing what I was looking at; to this day I have no recollection
    of our conversation, so stunned was I.
    I've used 780x410, 800x600, 770x540 and I'm going nutsoid
    trying to find the best compromise; whatever size I use, distortion
    creeps in if accompanied with an "exactfit" value, especially if
    the height and Width values are set at 100%.
    Beats me.
    What are you guys using?

    personally avoid scaling, especially filling up user window.
    more and more really high resolution monitors out there,
    the larger the screen the more CPU it sucks...
    Don't follow the exact screen size like 800x600 as it is
    never the
    browser ratio, must consider the browser chromes.
    I will design something within that size or slightly larger
    and use the
    around margin to incorporate graphics as part of the design.
    Sometimes even smaller than that and centralized. Depends on
    amount
    of content.

  • Best All-In-One Printer for MacBookPro & Airport Express

    I want to buy an all-in-one color printer for my office. My main computer is a new MacBook Pro with the latest OS, and my network runs on an Airport Express. I want all of the computers on the Express network to be able to print, scan, fax. etc. through the wireless network. I want a work-horse printer that has a low cost-per-page to print, I don't need a photo-quality printer. Any suggestions? I can't get my current HP LaserJet 1320tn to work at all through the Express.

    "Different strokes for different folks."
    Read the reviews & system requirements of all the printers you are interested in purchasing.  My personal preference is Epson.

  • Will the 2710 all-in-one printer be supported by windows 7? works on xp, will it on windows7?

    Is the 2710 all-in-one printer supported/compatible to Windows 7? It was on a XP, however hard drive is crashing and need to see if I may need to buy another all in one printer or able to keep my 2710.

    HP recommends that you use genuine HP cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP cartridges, or refilled HP cartridges.
    Well that being said about the cartridge, I would try a power reset like this:
    With the power on, open the ink access door. Remove the power from the printer. Remove the ink cartridge and close the cover. Wait at least 30 seconds then reconnect the power cord to the printer. Turn the printer on. Open the access door and insert the cartridge. That may clear up the issue, if not well.......

  • What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?

    What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?
    It seems that people usually show I/O examples with IOs like:
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInptuStream()));
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
    out.println("Hello World");
    out.flush();
    PrintStream out = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    out.println("Hello World");
    out.flush();When I say 'best I/O' I mean, can you give me an I/O that'll be the best if a MUD starts getting LOTS of request and becomes rather busy?
    Thanks!

    One last question, are output streams thread safe?A stream is inherently serial in the way it data is written to it. If two threads try to write to the same stream asynchronously, the ordering of the data written will not be predictable.
    For example:
    One class is recieving input from a user and
    reply-printing thing like "Command Successful", and
    another class is recieving messages from other users,
    but the PrintWriter would be originally created in the
    first class and then passed as a parameter to the
    second class...would this work, or should I just
    redirect all command replies to that second class?If they are in the same thread, then it could work. If there are separate threads, then some higher granularity synchronization needs to be imposed, so that the second thread doesn't start writing part way through the first's output.
    For example:public class NeoThreadWriter implements Runnable {
      final String name;
      final int delay;
      final boolean synch;
      NeoThreadWriter (String name, int delay, boolean synch) {
        this.name = name;
        this.delay = delay;
        this.synch = synch;
      public void run () {
        if (synch) {
          new Synch().run();
        } else {
          new ASynch().run();
      class Synch implements Runnable { 
        public synchronized void run () {
          synchronized (System.out) {
            for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
              System.out.println(name+":"+i);
              try {
                Thread.sleep(delay);
              } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
                iex.printStackTrace();
      class ASynch implements Runnable { 
        public synchronized void run () {
          for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
            System.out.println(name+":"+i);
            try {
              Thread.sleep(delay);
            } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
              iex.printStackTrace();
      public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {
          Thread threadA = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("A", 40, false));
          Thread threadB = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("B", 20, false));
          System.out.println("asynchronous threads");
          threadA.start();
          threadB.start();
          threadA.join();
          threadB.join();
          System.out.println("synchronized threads");
          Thread threadC = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("C", 40, true));
          Thread threadD = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("D", 30, true));
          threadC.start();
          threadD.start();
          threadC.join();
          threadD.join();
          System.out.println("Done");
        } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
          iex.printStackTrace();
    }With asynchronous threads A and B, the output is all mixed up. With synchronized threads the ordering of the output is maintained. Note that the guard has to encompass all of the code that generates the output; simply synchronizing the println invocations wouldn't prevent the mixing.

  • What is the best malwear detection and protection for use on a Mac?

    What is the best malwear detection and protection for use on a Mac?

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is foremost a problem of human behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the left side of the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
