Which multifunction Laser printer (MFP) for Lion? - need multipage scanning through automatic document feeder

Hi all,
I'd love to get your advice on what MFP laser printer to buy.
I need:
- Laser color PRINTING for a small business (+/- 1500 pages per month)
- SCANNING, preferably easy multipage scanning through the automatic document feeder
Optionally:
- 2nd paper feed tray
I think of buying the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi, but there seem to be plenty of compatibility issues with Lion (e.g. scan to network folder does not work on Lion).
I'd love to hear about success or failure of MFP on Lion from HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, etc...
Thx for your advace,
S.

I can recommend the Canon MF8380C. It has a document feeder that supports duplex scanning to Lion, either via Image Capture or Preview or 3rd party application like Acrobat Pro. You can also push scan documents from the machine by first configuring the scan settings using the Canon MF Toolbox that gets installed on the Mac.
The print quality is good for office documents, but not that accurate for colour proofing. It uses Canon's proprietary UFR2 v2.30 driver of which the Lion version of this driver is available from the Canon web.
As for the monthly volume, 1500 pages per month is the maximum recommended volume, so not sure if this would suit your business needs. It's recommended monthly volume is 800 colour pages.

Only if you have an airprint printer that supports ad hoc network connections (ad hoc connections are one wifi device connecting over the air directly with another).
If you search for "airprint ad hoc" you'll get plenty of hits - several printers to choose from it looks like.

Mono laser printer prob

I need a cheap mono laser printer to work on two Macs and possibly a PC, via a print server (still to be purchased)
Apparently Samsung's 1610 is not Mac compatible and there is no Mac driver for it
Do you know of a suitable printer and have you any advice about a print server - purchased in the UK?
Thanks in anticipation

If you are talking a new printer then what Greg says is the way to go.
If you want a used printer then I use and highly recommend a 16/600. They are built like a tank, frequently come with postscript, frequently have ethernet on them and I've seen them go for $50. A friend got one for free.
Parts and cartridges are reasonable too when you consider how many copies they are good for.
They can use Appletalk and ip printing and are seen on Classic apps for printing in Classic. Drivers are built in for 10.1 and up and networking with my wifes Win XP printer was not too tough either ( an of off the wall settings for ip printing was needed).
No print server needed. Just plug into hub or router.

Recommendations for wireless mono laser printer compatible with OS 10.6.7?

I am looking for a wireless mono laser printer compatible with Snow Leopard OS10.6.7. This is to be shared by 4 Macs in a small office. We are connected to the internet via DSL modem (2 wired, 2 wireless), and communicate with the Bonjour network. We have a Time Capsule, but are not using that for a server at this time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

How long is a piece of string?
There's a myriad of compatible printers that meet your given criteria, but that's mostly because you haven't been very specific about your needs... 'compatible with 10.6.7' is just one of many considerations.
For a start, what's your budget? That may narrow the field considerably.
Then what's your expected print run? If you're printing tens of thousands of pages per month your needs are way different from someone printing one or two pages a day (or week!). There's a reason why printer manufacturers list a 'duty cycle' on their spec sheets - it tells you what they think it's capable of handling so that you don't under or over-spec your printer.
And 'duty cycle' is way more than just the speed per page - it's how quickly the components wear out and need replacing. If you print 10,000 pages per month then the manufacturer has to build using higher-grade components that can run for hundreds of thousands of pages before servicing/replacing (and I'm talking here of things like fusers, belts, and the like, not consumables like ink and toner).
On the other hand there's no point in the manufacturer using high-grade components that can handle 1,000,000 cycles in a printer that's printing 100 pages a month - the printer, your computer and probably even you would be obsolete way before those components wore out.
Then you need to consider input capacity. If you're printing a lot you'd probably appreciate high-capacity input bins (so you don't have to walk over to the printer every hour to refill the tray).
What about duplex? Do you want to be able to print double-sided (either now or in the future)?
Since this is a small office, do you want other multi-function features such as fax/scan/copier?
These questions (and probably more) will go a long way to identifying the 'right' printer for your needs. As it stands, though, there really isn't enough data to offer any advice.

Which Colour Laser should I buy?

I have given up trying to get my Apple LaserWriter pro 630 to work with 10.6 so now I need to buy a new printer. Which reasonably priced colour laser printer should I buy?
I have a 27" iMac, a 24" imac, 17" Powerbook G5 and hopefully soon a second generation iPad which all need to print to the laser. The printer needs to take ethernet possibly wirelessly and USB would be a bonus. I don't have a very heavy usage but it must be capable of occasionally printing up to 200 copies.
On principle I wouldn't buy Dell after the 1997 comment!!
Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks
David

There is a good discussion on Macintouch today about color laser printers, and how the cost of consumables can greater than the cost of the printer itself. You should keep that in mind as you consider your options. The print quality is very good on most of them, USB and ethernet is pretty standard, with wireless a common option these days. But it is not necessarily the case that a color laser is less expensive to operate than an inkjet. I have both, and I think they have about the same costs. I save the laser for multiple copies, and prints that need to be water resistant, but the inkjet is my everyday printer. The laser is faster for multiple copies. That is its big advantage, but it is somewhat mitigated now that I am trying to eke out extra pages from the cartridges.

Can anyone recommend a solid, cheap mono laser printer that will work with Mac OS X?

I'm currently looking for a cheap, no-frills printer. So far, most are incompatible with Mac OS X or are too expensive to buy and run.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks!

I've been interested in this for some time and it all seems rather difficult. I had a Samsung ML-1610 mono laser before I bought my iMac three years ago. It worked fine with a Windows 98 laptop and was cheap and I think a bit of an out of date model then. When I bought the Mac one thing that worried me was - would the printer work? Discovered ML-1610 is not Mac compatible at all (officially). Searching for some time found various suggestions to make it work. The simplest was to download driver for ML-1710 and yes it DID work and still does. I even bought a replacement toner cartridge. Samsung mono laser printers are very good value but seem to be NOT very Mac friendly, even the models that are Mac compatible. It is too risky to get involved with models that are not on the Mac drivers list. Also not too happy about models that have Gutenprint or CUPS drivers. Yes, I believe Brother is quite Mac friendly, don't know how cheap. Mac showrooms don't have cheap mono laser printers, the style just isn't right, but they are great. I would never go back to an inkjet.

Cheap SL compatible mono laser printer

Being tired of the HP1022 saga I am looking for a cheap monochrome laser printer that works with snow leopard. Does anyone have any suggestions ? USB will do for home use but a network option for desktop use at work would also be handy.
Thanks - Michael

I have two HP LaserJet P1006 Printers which can be found on sale at various times for $99. They have a very small foot print for a monochrome laser printer, an important consideration for me since one sits on a small shelf and the other on a small antique desk.
They run fine with Snow Leopard and both have been problem free.

Which Colour Laser Printer/Scanner for Yosemite and Adobe Acrobat XI?

Since upgrading my mac to 10.10 my Epson DX4400 will not scan any more, even with the latest Epson driver update.
I need a better printer anyway, so I would like to replace it with a colour laser printer & scanner. But I want to make sure I get one that will work with OSX 10.10.2 and Adobe Acrobat XI
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

Looking for a new budget mono Laser printer

Hi,
I was originally looking at the HP LASERJET P1005 but have read that there are a few problems with drivers for Leopard. Had a quick scout around and found a Samsung ML-2240 which is 10.3 - 10.5 compatible.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers

In my opinion, pretty much all the machines in that price range(that have the specs you're looking for) are going to be pretty much the same when it comes to quality/durability.
I prefer the brand ASUS(and most of the other's on here will chime in to that effect). I'm very partial to them, and would toss this out as a recommendation : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+K-Series+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive+-...
Thought it has Windows 7 on it, I can't say I consider that a bad thing.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

I'm looking for a color laser printer for my MacPro....what brand do you suggest me?

Hi.
I'm in difficult to decide what brand of color laser printer to buy.
A few month ago I saw that on the apple store was sell the HP LaserJet Pro CP1525 Color Printer series, but now only multifuction printer are avaiable.
Have uou got experience with some other model?
Thank's.
Cristian

I would look at reviews of course. I favor Lexmark but there are others.
Try these:
http://printers.toptenreviews.com/laser/
http://www.pcmag.com/reviews/laser-printers
Ink jets have come a long way, but not a replacement where laser is called for, and cost of ink is just as much as printers. Trouble with multi function is -- not all functions are always that great.
Support. Sometimes only the last couple model years get supported drivers.
I keep paying less and getting much much better quality printers though and compared to those $10,000 units of old today's printer is cheap, fast and a joy to use.

IF you could buy a laser printer for 500 bucks......

Is there a laser printer out there that works well with Macs for under 500 bucks, (b&w), that is reliable? I am not a real computer guy, I just need something that works well for home use. Or should I suck it up and wait a month or so and buy a color one, though I do not really want to......Or am I too low dollar wise for a black and white, much less a color?
Thank you very much for any info.

If B&W is still okay, then Canon has the MF4150 which works well when connected directly to the Mac (networking is a bugger!).

I don't know of any laser printers that take a roll instead of sheets. There are some small designjets that might have a roll feed accessory but they are inkjet printers and designed for graphics applications.

Which Wifi Color Laser Printer is the best?

OK my wife and I are recent converts to Apple and we both have Macbook Pro's, running the latest Lion. I have a wireless network setup with an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule. My Old Ricoh Color Laser is giving me fits trying to connect it to my network so I am looking for advice on what has the best Apple Compatability. I have a Brother black and white multi function but I read reviews stating that a brother color laser would not print properly in "color" on a Mac. This whole thing is confusing. I had my Ricoh up and Running with Snow Leopard but not with LION! This is so confusing. Please help me make my house a "Windows Free Zone"
Thanks in Advance

I second Rudy's opinion on the Brother 5250DN, as far as a b&w laser printer goes! I got one of these a couple of weeks ago and the setup was super-easy. It has a great feature-set with 1200 dpi and auto-duplexing. The Brother installation software worked wonderfully to set up both Macs and PC almost automatically (I did change it to a static IP address after installation). The built-in ethernet print server's embedded web server administration IS accessible from both PCs and Macs (unlike what I have seen with my HP Directjet web server which I have only been able to access from a PC even with the latest firmware: the only thing that comes up if I try to access the HP Directjet web server administration from Macs is "Hewlett Packard. Macintosh OS is not supported to run this application.")
The Brother's two manuals are well-written and easy to understand also, more so than the manual for the HP 2605DN, which I downloaded (I was thinking about the HP 2605DN for a color-printer).
I am very happy with the Brother and its Mac support!
