Which printer brands/models work best with a MacBook?

I want to purchase an All-In-One printer/scanner/copier but not sure which one to buy.... any tips or advice? I know people have had problems in the past with certain brands and macs in general.
I was thinking one with wi-fi would be quite useful if two laptops wanted to print to the same printer without being right next to it. Can you use internet wi-fi at the same time as using a wi-fi printer?
Cheers

I purchased a refurbished HP all-in-one several years ago and it works like a charm. In addition, when I have had questions I found that, even though I have not had a warranty for years, HP gives excellent free expert email support, which is a value itself.
I suspect that almost any of the major printer manufacturers would have a product that would work well for you. You should consider what is most important to you and go to a retailer like Staples and test drive the printer. e.g. if you want to print photos, be sure you get one that does the best job in that department. I have not checked, but you could check reviews and ratings in publications like MacWorld or Consumer Reports.

    I apologize.. I should have done a search on my topic
    instead of posting a new one.
    Getting answers through search is hit or miss depending on what terms you use and how much time and patience you have on your hands. And sometimes it's just easier to ask your question because you might not know how best to search for your answer.
    Don't ever hesitate to start a new thread to ask your questions. That is what this forum is for.

  • Which version of ilife works best with Tiger 10.4.11 on G4Powerbook 1.33Ghz

    Hi,
    Just installed Tiger retail on my powerbook G4 and found out there is no native garageband/imovie so was wondering if there is a best ilife to look for that suits either the powerbook G4 1.33Ghz 1GB RAM and/or Tiger best or has known issues that can be recognized/dealt w before i buy?
    (panther's garageband was sticking and getting sluggish after only a few tracks or 2 tracks of digital beats, which is why i have installed Tiger).
    It's a combo 60GB harddrive with about 35/40GB spare
    as i have everything stored on my EXT HD.
    I could use the panther ilife -
    does anyone know if the newer ilife programs r better in speed and performance as well as gadgets or will they perform the same as the old v that i have because i'm still working on the G4?
    Any info would be helpful here,
    Thanks

    These are questions best asked on the ilife forums, perhaps specifically the [Garageband forum|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=127]. You'll probably get suggestions here, but you know that people on the GB forum are running GB, but can't be guaranteed that here (myself for example).

  • Which Mac Pro System works best with Premiere Pro CC?

    I am looking to upgrade my 12 core tower to the newer Mac Pro. I am wondering if anyone out there has suggestion as to what makes the most sense financially in terms of which  flavor of Mac Pro to get? For example, Is there a significant speed increase between the 8 core vs 12 core, and the D500 Vs the D700 Video Cards ? And how much RAM ? Normally the temptation is to go out and get the maxed out system, but reading though the forums with the various issues people are having with performance on the newer Mac Pro's and Premiere, would be great to know how it stacks up in the real world.
    Appreciate any input in this regard.
    Cheers

    I thought the only graphic card options on the new Mac Pro are all AMD cards, is that not correct? You can use the Quadro?

    Yes, thanks I forgot about that. I was just going by what I have, which is an older model so I can apparently just replace it with a newer Quadro.
    I'm no apple hardware expert and I'm not sure how the ports are setup. Apple's official support site only lists the AMD cards Chris mentioned for their most recent model, but that's also listed as late 2013 which doesn't seem right either. (or is it?) Note that they also list my mid-2010 model as only supporting ATI Radeon HD 577 and 5870 but I've been running a Quadro FX4800 in it with good results for several years, so I know that part's not right. So I'm not sure I'd take that site entirely literally, but of course you would not want to risk getting the wrong card. You should probably enlist the help of apple support (and/or forums) to get more details and assurance before purchasing, but bottom line is you'll want something with plenty of RAM (~ 4 GB or higher if possible) which will also be compatible with CUDA and or OPenCL playback in prpro.

  • Which version of winodws works best with MBA? ahich software I should use?

    I used to be a mac user until i started college, long story short got a MBA and love it to death but i still need to install windows in order for my work use, i need your advice on which windows version i should get? the home basic, premium or ultimate? and from reading the post here i see that there is another way to install windows on mba by using VMware, should i use VMware or boot camp to install my windows and any suggestions about what should i do and not do while installing? Thank you so much! mac rules!

    Some advice depends on how much money you have available. As a college student I would think the budget is a little tight.
    I would load Windows XP Home edition, not Vista. The subject of VMware is $ vs convenience. You can load XP under bootcamp for free, but you have to reboot between OSX and Windows sessions. Under VMware you can run both at the same time and switch between them at will, however it'll cost you $60-$80 for the privlige.
    It's much easier to install Windows and VMware if you bought the external Superdrive, however watch out for the "gotcha" that I posted in another thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1378410&tstart=0
    I use VMware and Windows XP, it's the best of both worlds although I would prefer to drop my windows use all together.
    It's really nice to use SPACES and assign VMware/windows to space 2 and OSX tasks to space 1 and then switch back and forth.
    Hope this helps, CaptFred

  • Which wireless all in one printers work best with ipad 4

    Please help me decide which wireless all in one printer works best with the ipad 4.  I am looking for better photo printing quality, but not the very best.  I am concerned mainly with being able to set up the printer using only my ipad 4 and wireless router, as I do not own a PC with a cd/rom.  I am also interested in which brand of compatible printers is less expensive to buy ink and paper for.  I would prefer a more compact unit.  Thank you in advance for any advice.

    These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
    Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as anyone else's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
    Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
    Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
    Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
    I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.

  • HT1349 which Sound Dock Music System will work best with my new iPod Touch 5th genertion

    Which Sound Dock Music System will work best with my new iPod Touch 16GB 5th generation ?
    I have been reading on line about how many don't. So what does. This was one of the main reasons I bought it. Will it work in one of the Bose Sound Dock Systems ?

    I have heard of no such problems with connection. 
    Regarding sound, it's simply a matter personal preference.  My suggestion is to go to the nearest Apple Store and try out a couple.  Each of the products at the store have passed an extensive vetting process.  The Specialists are willing to work with you and may even open a box or two.  Don't be unreasonable and expect to spend a half-day opening all the different models.  In other words, don't abuse their willingness to provide stellar customer service.
    Better yet, direct your eyballs to the store shelf or the Apple website.  That's really all you need to know.

    I cannot comment of Airport products, as I have none.  Nor would I suppose to argue with Kappy or Ralph.
