Which printer for my Mac (and Windows 7 PCs)?

Our printer just died and I need to purchase one tomorrow. I'll be buying it locally (not from the internet, etc.) and I've narrowed it down to these models so far:
Epson Stylus SX525WD
Manufacturer's website
Brother DCP-J715W
Manufacturer's website
HP Photosmart Wireless eAiO
Manufacturer's website
Canon MFC Pixma MP499
Manufacturer's website
HP Deskjet 2050 AiO
Manufacturer's website
My primary concerns are:
1) scanning; I'm not too worried about getting the printer to work on my Mac, but I'd like to be able to use the device to scan from my MBP running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, without VueScan (which I tried and dislike very much) - so either with Image Capture or with software provided by the vendor, if it's any good.
2) Wi-Fi; most models listed feature Wi-Fi (except the Deskjet 2050 AiO, AFAICT) - I've never had Wi-Fi printing before so I'm unsure of what issues to expect - I figure maybe some printers will be easier to setup with a Mac and/or work better. It'd be nice if the scan function could work wirelessly too, though it's no big deal if it doesn't.
3) photo printing; the printer will be used to print photos occasionally, so it'd be nice if the printer offered a good photo printing experience (sorry I can't be more specific - I'm not the one using the printer for photos).
Also, if you have one of these printers (or an equivalent model), I'd be very interested in your impressions of the printer.
Edit: removed a printer which turned out to be only available online

Well, I managed to get the printer to connect to my AirPort Extreme base station (was fairly straightforward).
Then I wasn't sure how to install the wireless printer with built-in OS X tools, so I ended up using the disc that came with the printer. Installed fine, and I can print and scan wirelessly

Which drive for Photoshop?

I have 3 hard drives one for OS, one for Photoshop and one for back up.
I inadvertently allowed my CS4 upgrade to load onto the OS drive, CS3 is on the Photoshop drive.
If I load Photoshop from the dock I get a message saying 'This application has been moved from the location in which it was originally installed. Some settings need to be repaired.' If I cancel this PHotoshop loads so it is no big problem but would be nicer to load directly.
On the Photoshop forum I am advised that it would be better to have Photoshop on the boot drive.
I thought I had read on this forum that Mac users often have Photoshop on its own drive so would I be better to transfer CS4 alongside CS3 on its own drive, and how do I do that?

Hi daveat22;
I think that I read on this forum exactly what they told you on the Adobe forum to leave PhotoShop on the system. Loading the application is not that much of a load so having it with the system isn't a problem.
In order to do that you might have to uninstall both copies and start over again. I know when I downloaded the demo I had troubles load my purchased copy until I uninstall the demo.

Which Laptop for Photoshop + Web Design? (under 1000$)

Hey there-
I need a PC laptop and not sure which to buy. Just getting started with photoshop and web design but hope to make it a career. Money's tight so under 1000$ (max) is ideal. Do I need a dedicated graphics card, or is integrated okay? Intel or AMD? Screen resolution? I'm confused.
Any tips are much appreciated, thanks!

Do you really need a laptop? You can get a lot more for the money with a desktop. Many serious users use one or more 24+ inch monitors.
Win7 is better than Win8. The standard recommendation is a dedicated video card with 1 gig of VRAM, min. 2 internal HD or large SSD, and min. 8 gig of ram.

Which printer for Leopard....?

Hi,
For reasons best known to apple and related to bootcamp, I had to upgrade to Leopard. Now, my HP 4255 all in one still exists as a printer in the eyes of my macbook, but printing from all programs has ceased: the job gets to the queue and stalls.
I have tried all of the resetting, Gimp Print, Gutenprint, Foomatic options I believe, but nothing. I understand this is an old printer and that it is unsupported in the new operating system, I also see the internet is littered with such storys. It transpires that the printer still happily chugs away by switching to windows of course, because i still use XP...
Can anybody suggest what Leopard will print to and scan from for a small (and I mean small...) home office? I would be delighted if there was an A3 option...
thanks guys, It's hard getting info out of apple, I'd be lost without the community of users....

Which Printer for iMac w/Intel?

I finally bought a rebuilt iMac with Intel and now discover that my printer will not work with it. Can someone recommend a printer that I can just plug in and go or set up for wireless without having to go on line and download a bunch of stuff? Make this as simple as possible please!
Thanks.
Sincerely,

There are a lot of different types of printers out there. I have several ... each for a different purpose.
If you want to print to standard size paper then take a look at Canon

I have the MX860 and find it does a great job for what I ask of it.

Question about file preparation for print from Photoshop

I need to figure out the best method for saving for print from Photoshop. Here are the things that are confusing me:
Problem: When I create a design in Photoshop, I'm left with a few options on how to save my document. I would like to know which of the following is the best method:
Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best route to take?
Method 2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause extremely long print times. Is this true?
Another problem I've encountered with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside from this one little thing).
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all) at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
Thank you to anyone who can help clear this up for me. I read so much inconsistant information online that I don't know what to think anymore.

Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method
worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the
recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this
something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best
route to take?
Always embed fonts, but then again, Photoshop can't until you save a format that can like PDF. Some fonts do not allow you to do so. Outline the fonts or convert to shapes. Better yet, stop building text documents in Photoshop for print. It's generally a bad idea for many reasons like rejected jobs and lost money and time.
Method
2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but
I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website
commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause
extremely long print times. Is this true?
Problems arise if you want someone to edit the files, but the same goes for a font that is missing. As far as the print slow down times - it depends upon the RIP and how complex the file is. Maybe or maybe not be an issue. After all, text in Photoshop is using a font as a vector shape layer and not a font in the traditional sense.
Another problem I've encountered
with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more
than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a
single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I
have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to
manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best
for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside

A paragraph? Please attend a school that teaches you the basics of design in graphics. It will do you a great service to get more studies under your belt. Photoshop text is for graphical art not type setting.
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all)
at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
It depends upon the resolution of the output device. The higher the resolution of the output the worse your text will be.

Is there a printed manual for Photoshop Touch?

I'd like a printed manual for Photoshop Touch for Tablet.

I think there was a PDF quick start but that was for version 1.3; we're now on 1.5.1, which is a little different.
My advice for people who just picked up PS Touch is to have a rudimentary understanding of Photoshop's main paradigm: Layers. From there, it's a matter of understanding the similarities and differences between the two.
e.g., Photoshop & Photoshop Elements have adjustment and layer masks but PS Touch lets you "paint" an effect onto a layer, even though it's destructive. (You can, however, mimic something like an adjustment mask by simply inserting a blank layer, filling it with neutral gray, setting the blend mode to Overlay, and then paint with the brush tool using various levels of black or white.)
Effects and adjustments like Curves and Levels work very similarly.

Printing from photoshop elements 6 for mac

I have an i-mac and use photoshop elements 6. I have created hundreds of images but when i have contacted printers to print cards i created from these images using indesign i have been told by many printers that there is an issue regarding RGB vs CMYK . Where and how can i get my RGB images printed for a reasonable price. billrene

The main question I have is whether or not there is an efficient way to get a rgb images printed. I have an Imac whose screen is a rgb pattern so even if i convert the images to cmyk (which i can do in a couple different ways -- through indesign or putting the images in photoshop). however since my sreen is a rgb format i can not acurately see the changes I have made through converting to cmyk. also i have several hundred images i have created and would rather not have to convert them all before printing. I have had problems finding a printer that will even attempt to print rgb images. I have checked at kinkos as well as several print shops in montana where i live. each time i am told they can not print rgb. the images I sent to those printers were unusable because of the color distortions. When I talked with some one in the Apple store they suggested I get a different computer. It has also been suggested i get a printer that could be calibrated to the rgb format and i could print the images myself. another suggestion i received was that there may be a calibration program/software that i could use to make the converesion. Help. billrene

Can someone tell me which printer would be most compatible and easiest to install?
I have never owned a wireless printer and feel intimidated by the very thought of connecting a printer to my MacBook Pro with Retinal display and Mountain Lion.
I feel overwhelmed by the info on the net. Thank you from a concerned senior citizen.

Which version of PhotoShop Elements should I buy for Windows Vista Home Premium and from what source?

First time buying PhotoShop. I need it for a project I'm involved with at my school, but I can't download Creative Cloud or PhotoShop Elements 13 because Vista is not supported by Adobe. However, I find it easier to find a version more fit for my computer rather than upgrade it (I'll just be brief, it's not convenient AT THIS TIME for me to attempt to upgrade my PC, even if many believe it'd be better for me).
I was just planning on looking on Amazon for PhotoShop Elements PC boxes available and going with whatever version 11 or below that was at a good price. Is this a good way to go or is there something special about purchasing CD's to download I need to be aware of? Is buying from a source like Amazon rather than straight from Adobe putting me at risk for a phony version of PhotoShop Elements (though I was looking to buy a "new" box to avoid this if I can find some)?
I'm having trouble finding WHERE Adobe sells its products from its own website rather than Creative Cloud right now. A link would very much be appreciated if such a place exists. Thank you.

You can download a free trial version for PSE 10, 11 or 12 from this link:
<Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
You can use this trial version for 30 days after which you will need to buy a boxed version from Amazon and use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version.
If, however, you complete your project in the next 30 days then you don't need to buy anything. Money saved for something else.
Good luck.

Which new inkjet printer for my iMac early 2008?

I need a new inkjet printer for my iMac early 2008 (until now I use an old Epson Stylus Photo 1200 which now is going to its end of life).
Which printer would you choose, especially for photo prints?
Thanks for your answers! :-)

I should have mentioned that I may have the same computer you have - a late (December) 2007 iMac. I continue to run 10.4.11 Tiger because of some antiquated software I use that is not compatible with later operating systems. An additional thing I like about the Canon is its five individual ink tanks. When one color runs out, I just change out that one cartridge and keep going.

I have a license for Photoshop CS6 which was installed on a PC that is now beyond repair. How can I install the software on my iMac? I still have the serial number that is registered to my Adobe Id?

Serial numnbers are platform specific so you will not be able to use it for the Mac if it was initially designated for a PC. YOu will need to perform a platform swap. See the following for information:
Change product platform or language
You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:
