When will apple start providing drivers for new mononchrome laser printers?

I have been looking for a new monochrome laser printer to replace an old one. I looked at Brother, HP and Samsung laser printers. Every one I look at has drivers for 10.8. I have no need for airprint or a multifunction printer (I already have an excellent scanner and 2 inkjet color printers). Does anyone have any suggestions? I have to say this printer driver thing is getting a little old.

Apple doesn't provide the drivers.  The printer vendors do.
My general rule is to always get a laser printer with Postscript support, which can almost always be printed to, even when the vendor abandons the printer.  It costs more, but I get a much longer life from the printer.
Having said that, my Wife and I are using Mavericks and printing to our networked HP M1536dnf MFP (multi-function printer - print, scan, fax, copy).  I do not know if the drivers were updated for any specific release of Mac OS X (they could have been, I just do not know), but I got the printer when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6) and I can still print and scan with it (I have not tried go FAX, but then again, I can do that manually from the printer itself, so I do not need to use the Mac unless I do not want to print the stuff to FAX first (which would be a benefit, if I needed to actually FAX).

    When will apple start releasing a good selection of proper movies? I think people are a little frustrated at the limited choice. HD seems to be ignored. I love my Apple TV but I need good quality content if I am to take it seriously.

  • When will Apple allow background processes for the iPhone?

    Can't find a suitable subforum so I'll post it here, please refer me to the correct Apple forum otherwise.
    When will Apple allow background processes for the iPhone?
    When will Apple allow Alerts from 3rd party apps?
    Even my first Palm Pilot allowed developers to use Alert beeps.
    Why is Apple crippling the iPhone?
    If they continue this, Android will be the winner.
    Or will the next SDK allow this?

    Background processing, simply won't. They already said they won't and explained why.
    However, they are currently adding "Push" ability to developers (soon). Originally they did say they were shooting for Sept (but obviously that has passed). Nobody can say "why" it is late or when it will come. Just know it is coming.
    Push in case you don't know will let a service (one service) run in the background that apple makes for the phone. that service will ping apple's servers. Apps that want to "run" in the background have to register with that service thus lets say AIM is on your phone, you send a message and close...somebody responds. AIM's servers will send notification to the push service...then the phone will alert you of a notification in the AIM app, you open (thus starts the app again) and it gets the message.

  • When will apple start selling unlocked iPhone 6 in the U.s

    hello
    i searched in the UK store and the Australian store and the option for the unlocked iPhone 6 is available but the devices itself is not yet but the taxes are much higher and the phone is much more expensive from the U.S store
    when will apple start selling unlocked phones in the u.s ?
    thanks

    No one knows that at this point.  In the recent past, the unlocked iPhones started out as only available in the retail Apple stores and not by on-line order.  When they will be available or how has not been announced so far.
    Keep in mind that purchasing an iPhone in another country is not a great idea since the warranty is only valid in the country of sale so if anything would go wrong there would be no service or support in another country.

  • HT4757 When will Apple iPhoto/Aperture support the new Leica V-Lux 4 camera RAW format ?

    I just bought a Leica Vlux-4 and found that the current verisons of Aperture and iPhoto do not reconize the RAW files like they do for earlier versions and all of the Canon & Nikon DSLR's.  I see from the support doc that Apple supports the Vlux-1 and 2, so when will RAW support be added for the Vlux-4 ?
    I dont want to move to Lightroom but it already supports the Vlux-4 camera !
    Thanks.

    while this all may be true,
    it is all speculation, and we are not supposed to speculate here; Apple does not publish the reasons for missing raw support, and for the Vlux-4 it is early days yet. There may very well be a raw update including your camera soon.The only difference I see, is that the the Vlux-1 & 2 did not come with Lightroom included, only with PSE, and the support stopped, when Lightroom was included - the direct competition to Aperture.
    Send feedback to Apple to let them know!
    Regards

  • When will Apple begin taking preorders for the new iPads?

    Apple said - and many websites reported - that they would begin taking "pre-orders" for the new iPads beginning on 10/17 (many said starting at 12:01 am).  Well, it's now after 12:01 am on 10/17, in the US Pacific Time Zone, yet it appears (to me at least) that one can not place an order yet.
    When exactly are they supposed to begin? 

    Hi ..
    Not sure what other websites are reporting time wise but orders usually don't start until 10am Pacific Daylight Time on the date pre orders become available.
    It's currently 12:20am in Cupertino, California;  Apple's headquarters.
    Pricing & Availability
    iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 come in three gorgeous metallic finishes including gold, silver and space gray, and customers in 29 countries and territories can order online beginning Friday, October 17. Both iPads will be available starting later next week in the US, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China (Wi-Fi models only), Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macau (Wi-Fi models only), Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Availability in Croatia, Greece, Puerto Rico, Russia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and elsewhere around the world, will continue through the end of October with additional global availability in the coming months. iPads are sold through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, additional carriers and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

  • TS2755 When will Apple have a fix for iMessages not sending in iOS 7?

    I saw the news that it was affecting a "fraction of a percent" of users. I know 2 people it is affecting, and it is now indirectly affecting me. So let's be real...it is affecting much more.
    The temporary fixes are indeed that, temporary. Most users have the issue come back in day or two.
    Even though the issue is not on my phone, I ahve had to turn off iMessages to communicate with my husband whose iMessages are not working. And now I find out that when I do that, other iPhone users cannot iMessage me. Where does it end, Apple? This company is really making my desire to switch to the Galaxy S4 almost palpable.

    I tried about most of the trouble shooting tips on the internet, I even did a clean install with ALL the apps,
    Update the iOS and even the still black or blue screen for 2-4 seconds between a app opening , all the apps are closed down like nothing runs in the background....
    I even cut most of my images to the Macbook and on DropBox or GoogleDrive...
    When I tried to chat online to Apple Care, after I inserted the serial number, it gave me a message that the device has been replaced, please contact Apple care.....
    It is like running in circles to get an answer....
    Speaking to an Apple guru on the phone is like " Oh just make an appointment and leave it here for repairs...."
    This is the only phone I run my business from...

  • When will Apple add AC3 passthrough for 5.1?

    A little disappointed, just bought a new Mac Mini but no 5.1 through Front Row. I guess this is a known issue for years now, so does anyone know when this will be fixed?
    Front Row only will output 2 channel stereo from the core audio (Pro Logic 2). Passthrough AC3 is not output through the mini toslink to receiver. I was hoping to use the mini as a media hub but I'm about ready to return it if I can't have 5.1. I've research numerous workarounds, some of them involving Perian and executing the libra52 codec in terminal but if I have to do that every time I might as well just throw the dvd in rather than have them played in Front Row. I've got it to passthrough through VLC but again, I was hoping for Front Row.
    Any ideas...

    Hi-
    Use Plex to get 5.1 For Ac3 passthrough encodes.
    http://www.plexapp.com/
    Much much better than Front Row. It can do everything that Front row can, and more. Plus, it's free

  • When will Apple Pay be available for iPhone 5?

    I have seen that Apple Pay is not available for my iPhone 5. Will it become available to that phone as well as the #6? When?

    Nope.   The iPhone 5 lacks the NFC chip that the Apple Pay service requires in order to connect with the payment terminals at stores.
    However, once the Apple Watch is released, you can use it in conjunction with the iPhone 5, 5c, or 5s for Apple Pay based payments.
