What printers are compatible with Mac Book Pro's?

Hi All,
Just looking to buy a printer for my Mac Book Pro but I don't know which ones are compatiable...
Any suggestions or do you know where I can find a list of compatible printers??
Thanks

A better question is What Printer AREN'T compatible. Older printers mostly. The thing to do is check with the manufacturer, their website, to see if the printer you want to buy has current OS X drivers and or check with Apple support page to list printer that Apple has drivers for.

Do you want to hook a printer up via a cable to your MacBook or print wirelessly? Do you want a printer or printer/scanner/fax all-in-one?
In either case, I've used Canon printers for years, and found that they work well with macs and have good driver and software support for OS X through 10.7 Lion. I also like that Canon offers a number of models with individual color ink tanks, so you just replace the colors you use. Some printers use just two tanks with multiple colors, so when one is out, you toss the whole tank. Although I haven't used them, some also like Brother printers.

Virtually any wireless printer will work just fine as well as a printer that connects using Ethernet. If you are looking at an All-in-One type of device....all functions like print, scan, copy, maintenance, etc will be supported.
If you are looking at USB devices, Apple does not provide a list of compatible models, so It is difficult to say with certainly what will work and what will not. In general, most USB printers will work.
But....very important....if you are looking at an All-in-One USB device, you need to keep in mind that only the print function will work when the device is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Scan, copy, fax, maintenance, etc. will not be supported.
Bottom line...if you are looking at an All-in-One device and you need all of the functions, you need to choose a device that connects using wireless only or Ethernet, not USB.

Seagate plus compatible with mac book pro

Is seagate plus compatible with mac book pro and how do I know its backing up, where can I see the backed up files?

Hello and welcome.
Click on the desktop - next to the Apple click on "Finder - in the drop down menu click on "Preferences" - under "Show these items on the desktop" click on Hard disks and External disks. All disks inside the computer and connected outside will appear on your desktop. The external hard drive will be orange in color.
When you first connected that Seagate it should of asked you if you wanted to use that drive for Time Machine to backup to.

You need to clear what you want. All in one printer that does printing and scanning? There are many. Look at the HP Envy series.

Wireless printer compatible with mac book pro

what wireless all in one printer is compatible with a mac book pro(snow leopard)

You would use AirPort Utility for this. It's located as follows on your Mac:
Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons on the setup page
Click the Options button
The option to create a "closed" or "hidden" network should appear. If the box is checked, uncheck it to perhaps help your printer find the wireless network
If you can connect to your wireless with your computer, you know the wireless is working correctly. You should probably contact HP for additional assistance as this appears to be an printer issue, not an AirPort Extreme issue.

What printers are compatible with Lion?

I am on my second printer, and no dice with HP officejet 4500.
Are there any printers that are compatible with Lion, and easy to install.
It has been nothing but a nightmare, and a financial burden to try to find a printer that works.
please advise, thanks!

There are so many printers compatible. It makes no sense to list all. The HP officejet 4500 you have is compatible if you have the right driver:

What printers are compatible with OS X 10.9?

Since upgrading to OS X 10.9, the scanner in my HP Officeject 4500 printer does not work, and there is no driver update from HP that solves the problem. When I shop online for printers, they seem to be compatible with a range of OS X versions only up to 10.8. Has anyone found an affordable home printer ($100) that works with Mavericks?

Yes, I got the latest update and it did not resolve the problem. The scanned page appears on the monitor, but the saved file is garbage. Problem seems to reside in the HP scan.app software. Maybe I can get third-party software that's compatible with the HP hardware?
The issue is HP's app, all Mac's come with Image Capture. Use this instead of the HP app, it may be all you need. Here are some basice Image Capture instructions:

What camcorders are compatible with final cut pro 7

There are so many cameras that use hard disks and flash memory and I don't want to buy one that is useless with final cut pro 7. What are some guidelines I can follow?

Yesterday I was driving home from work in the carpool lane, and a motorcycle was coming up behind me. So I did my usual pulling to the left to give the fellow ample room. But the car in front of me veered to the right as the motorcycle approached -- obviously to try and block him. I was quite peeved at the idiot driver, even though it had nothing to do with me.
In the same way, I am offended by the tone av3x is using.
I don't like how he/she is talking to you guys, with comments such as, "David, why not just answer the question?"
Hey av3x: The people on this board don't owe you any answers. They are not getting paid to read about your troubles. They have invested time with you already, and you should be respectful.
BTW, it sounds like the JVC HM100 might suit your needs.

What printers are compatible with OS X 10.9.5?

When I first got this apple computer, I bought an Epson Stylus NX430 printer. Not it doesn't work, no matter what. I even tried to uninstall and then reinstall.....and it says it is not compatible.
Anyone know which printer might work? Not an expensive one - maybe around or under $ 100. You can email me at *****if you have any suggestions.
Thanks so much.
<Edited by Host>

Donna,
There are probably hundreds of printers around that will work with Mavericks and Yosemite. Which type of printer are you looking for (inlet or laser, for example) and what will you be using it to do primarily (printing B&W memos, printing photos, etc.)?
You also may want to contact Epson to see if they have a printer driver that will work with Mavericks and the NX430 printer.
Good luck,

I would to know what is the better option, mac book pro with CA on, or use with battery until it`s discharge

I have one doubts if is preferable work with mac book Pro all together with battery and to connect it when discharge or work with the connected to CA cable.
I read in somewhere apple do not recomended work with the CA cable all the time, but in other articles said that its no problem if you realize a complete cilce of discharge an charge one time at month,
thaks for help

Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
Never drain them LOW & never store them HIGH
While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
*A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge.
DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count. *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
(as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
*However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”. This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
The good news is that your Macbook has a safety circuit in place to insure the battery doesn’t reach too low before your Macbook will auto power-off. Bad news: if you let your Macbook protection circuitry shut down your notebook at its bottom, and you refrain from charging it for a couple days...the battery will SELF-DRAIN to zero (depending on climate and humidity)…and nothing is worse on a Lithium battery being low-discharged than self-draining down to and sitting at 0
Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.

Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
