Which Printer/Scanner/Fax

Can anyone recommend a good printer/scanner/fax that is compatible with my Powerbook G4? Right now I have the HP officejet 6110 all in one and the scanner does not work with my Mac (I had it when I used a PC) So I want to get a new printer/scanner/fax and want to know what is the best or a really good one that can doe everything (if it prints photos even better)
Thanks in advance....
Ellen

Any AIO with fax does not require the Mac to be turned on to send and receive hard copy faxes. If you wanted to send from your Mac then of course it would have to be turned on.

Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

Hi,
My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
Scenario:
The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer, then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

Problem getting scan of pix from printer/scanner/fax machine

Long used P E to get pix scanned by printer/scanner/fax. Then I bought a slide scanner and installed, and PE brought in slides scanned by separate machine. Disconnected slide scanner. Now whenI try to get pix scanned by printer/scanner/fax, it says it "Can't find the slide scanner" and SHUTS DOWN. How can I reset PE to get the scanned pix from the printer/scanner/fax again. It has no trouble going to the printer/scanner/fax to print pix.
Cindi

Open Organizer and on the top menu click Edit à Preferences à Scanner
I tried the website and help searching for scan, I have had every PE since
2 and have 48,000 pix in my catalogue, so I'm pretty knowledgeable about
the program. I also searched under file. I usually go to Get photos and
thought it should give a choice under scanner there. Never thought to go to
Edit and Preferences.

I just hooked up my Canon MP830 printer/scanner/fax to my MAC and can print but can't scan. Anyone out there know what to do with this?

Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one. Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

Multifunction Printer/Scanner/FAX machines and FAXing from the desktop.

I've got a Canon MP530 thanks to an Apple Bundle and after a lot of gyrations, it has come down to be that neither I, Canon, nor Apple can make this unit send or recieve FAXs from the desktop!
Apple seems to be "stunned" (better word than "clueless") about this lack of functionality. Canon's response is (literally) "Buy a PC."
I know I can do software that will let me FAX but but that is not an option at this point. I've got four machines who all can plug into the same printer/scanner/unit and there's no reason that this machine shouldn't be able to send a FAX for me.
So, I'm here posting this message wondering if anyone has purchased an "All-in-one" unit (preferably part of an Apple bundle) that supports printing from the computer, scanning to the computer, and FAXing to and from the computer and that they've actually used (themselves) and seen work.

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.
This link to an online chat on www.hp.com with a tech might help you.

I unfortunately upgraded my browser to IE8 last week and the chat support online does not support that browser. If you get an answer, I would appreciate it if you would post the answer on this thread so that I can re-learn it myself. Thanks. Good Luck.

Need help scanning with new HP multi-function printer/scanner/fax

My new HP M1212nf MFP was recognized and installed in System Preferences with no problem for the printing and the fax functions. However, it is not recognized by the system software as a scanner. It will scan using the supplied HP software, but I would like to use it with Image Capture. HP Support says that this is an Apple problem for not providing a scanner driver for this multifunction. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks.

I finally contacted HP support by phone rather than email, and found out that we were both asking the "wrong" question. It turns out that the scan function of this MFP was designed to be simple and not provide more extensive capabilities of a photo scanner. Hence, no software will provide additional capabilities like dust-off, color correction, etc. That is not what I was told by the salesman at the local office store, but buyer beware. And, for my purposes, it is acceptable since I use my Epson photo scanner for photo work. The main thing I wanted this MFP for was network printing, and it does that well.

HP copier/printer/scanner/fax all-in-one The print screen on machine is lit but blank.

HP laserjet 8600 All-in-one. My print screen on machine is lit but blank. Unable to access prompts to operate. At times it will display home, right and left arrows and ? when touching those prompts it shifts from right to left but goes blank when touching other prompts
I am unable to print a copy because prompts don't appear on screen other than those mentioned.
I can print only from my computer

Hi there klf, welcome to the forums
I understand your display screen is blank on your printer. I would like for you to confirm which 8600 model you have and I will look into this for you.
In the meantime try a power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Tip: Plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.

My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus printer/scanner/fax/copier won't connect to my wireless network

I tried going through the Wireless Network setup on my HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus machine. The printer recognizes the network and I then type in my network's password but it won't connect to the network. What can I do? I would like to be able to print and scan wirelessly. Help please!

Hello erking,
Sorry to hear that you are having an issue with connecting the printer to your Mac over a wireless connection.
I have done some research and I have found a great document that deals with The Printer Is Not Found During a Wireless Network Installation.
Please feel free to write me back and I will be happy to assist you further with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thanks for your time.

I installed Tiger and now my printer/scanner won't work

Hi. I installed Tiger and now my multi function printer/scanner/fax is not recognized by my computer. I have the Brother MFC 420 CN. I downloaded some drivers and such which I thought would resolve the issue, but still it does not work. What can I do? Thank you.

According to this page:
http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/macosxstate.htm
The MFC-420 CN is not listed. Sounds like you have a printer whose driver never was updated. Contact Brother technical support and ask them to fix that issue.

Mac compatible printer/scanner server

Hi.
I have two macs on OS X 10.6.6. I have a really good but older Brother laser printer/scanner/fax. I would like to network the two macs to be able to print and scan over the network - but, the printer only has parallel port and usb slots. I tried a printer server (iogear GPSU21) only to discover that I can print, but not scan. iogear has one that does all-in-one with full functionality, including my Brother MFC-7220, but it is a PC only product. Talked to my mac store and they suggested purchasing a new printer/fax/scanner that has networking built in and said they didn't know of any products or work-arounds. We would like to keep using the old Brother, with out having to move cables between computers etc...any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance for your help and ideas...
Ciao,
Paul

That's a tough one.
I think you won't be able to access all the features from all the Macs given it's interfaces/limitations.
However, if you attach the printer to a Mac, you can share the printer and scanner from OS X. I believe that is in System Preferences, Printers and Image Capture settings.
Im not at my Mac at the moment, but have a look and see.
I think that is the only solid solution for you.

All in One Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax Recommendations

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase an all in one printer/scanner/copier/fax device. I was wondering what recommendations other people have. The main purpose would be to print photos, scan photos and some small business office printing. Note, a fax would be nice, but is not absolutely neccessary.
Scanning photos would be important, since I plan to scan our family's photo albums into iPhoto.
Also, is there a printer than can communicate with the Mini using bluetooth? If so , does it work well?
Since I have limited desk space, size would be an issue (smaller the better).
Looking to spend about $200, slightly more if the cost justifies itself. Less is always better.
Thanks in advance!

The Brother MFC-420cn
http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=MFC420CN
does everything you ask for less than $100 -- except bluetooth.
The Pluses: Good Mac software. Cheap ink. Networkable.
The construction is flimsy plastic, but if you are gentle it will hold up.
Definitely small footprint.
Paper path is 180 degrees, which is not my preference.
Personally, I prefer Epson all-in-ones. Also good Mac software and 80 degree paper path for less jamming. Exceptional scan quality.

SAP faxing from all-in-one (printer/copier/scanner/fax) device

Hi,
We have a all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax (Ricoh Aficio 3025) and would like to make use of it to send fax from SAP.
I know how to set it up as a printer. But how should I go about setting it up to send fax?
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Sisab Nimda on Jan 8, 2009 2:38 PM

You can't just set it up as a fax... you need a fax server in order to send faxes (I.E. Rightfax)... basically the way it works is that you create a node in SCOT for faxes and send the data to the fax server via SMTP and the fax server deliver the fax to your hardware.
Check the SMTP guide,
