Which printer to choose with inks 339 & 344

My uncle has thrown out his broken hp printer but has a few brand new inks left, codes 339 and 344, he wants to purchase a new printer which will take the same inks but can't remember the name of the printer he threw out, can anyone advise which printers to look at under £60? Many thanks

Well, the printer is a Japanese model, so it'll be different to one in India. It's only a year old, so it is a current model and prints CDs as well. The model is, Epson PM-G730. The only difference is, I am using an Airport Extreme and not Express, but that shouldn't make any difference to your choice.
I didn't have to go hunting for drivers or software either. I just used the software that came with it. The only advice I would give you is, install the printer software while the printer is connected directly to the computer via USB to be sure it sets up correctly. Then, just plug it in to the Airport, look for it in the Airport window and set it as default. It's as easy as 1 2 3.
As for brands to choose. Of course, I will recommend Epson because that is what I have and it works fine for me. The other reason I would recommend Epson is because the printer toners are much cheaper than HP printer toners. Cannon toners are also cheap and have a good reputation with Macs. Also, don't listen to advice from the electrical shop staff. They have no idea about anything to do with Macs! One of my friends recently went to buy a printer and the shop staff wouldn't sell him what he wanted because they told him it wouldn't work with a Mac (an Epson printer). He told me about it the next day and I told him to go back and just buy it. He went back, bought it, plugged it in, installed the software and it's going great guns.
Anyway, if you want further info about networking your Express you should post in the Express threads.
Cheers!
rama rama!

  • Which printer is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.5?

    I am using a HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One with my computer, which gives alot of problems when I am printing. Don't know why, but it takes quite a while before I can get a document printed.   Any suggestions?  Usually a blue light is displayed with letters and numbers on the printer's screen.

    I have an HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw that has worked flawlessly with Lion through Yosemite, and is AirPrint enabled so it prints from my iPad and iPhone.

  • No matter which printer I choose, InDesign CS4 rejects it.

    I downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS4 for my Vista machine. Every time I try to change the printer to anything but PostScript file, it tells me "Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection" ... is this a limitation of the trial version or what? CS3 prints fine to all my printers. .... if it matters, both my printers are HP. My main one is HP Business Inkjet 2800.
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    -Jennifer

    One other thing. It matters, on Vista 64-bit versions, where the programs are installed. InDesign is a 32-bit program so you need to be sure it goes into the 32-bit program files directory.
    Did you try installing a copy of the printer, or deleting the instance you have and reinstalling that? It shouldn't matter if InDesign is installed before or after the printer.
    Oh man, Peter. I had no idea about the 32-bit, 64-bit thing. Where the heck is the 32-bit program files directory? This is a 64-bit operating system I have now and although I did delete the printer from the printer list and then added it again, since the drivers are included with the system, there is no reinstalling anything, it just adds the printer again. And since there are no drivers available for me to download and install, I don't get to do it manually, because all-knowing windows knows exactly what I need and tells me what I have to do (cough, cough).
    I can print from Acrobat -- and Illustrator CS4, but not InDesign. Are those 32-bit application also, or just InDesign?

  • When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

    When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

    Hi,
       If you choose the incorrect settings for printing, yes - the print quality will be affected.
    Different papers absorb the ink differently, so you can end up with prints that are too light, too dark, or have a colour cast if you make incorrect choices in your Aperture or printer settings.

  • Which inkjet printer is compatible with my iMac OS X version 10.8.5 computer?

    Hello:  I need some help.  Which inkjet printer is compatible with my I Mac OS X version 10.8.5 computer?

    I am confused. On the Apple KB article that you suggested, the Canon Pixma MX922 does not show that it is compatible with my computer.
    It is listed. It is shown as the MX920 series, because different countries have a different name for this model (it's known as MX926 in Australia).
    Are you wanting to connect the MX to your wireless network or direct to the Mac via USB cable? Either way, the supporting printer and scanner driver will be downloaded from Apple and installed on your Mac.

  • Deskjet ink advantage 4625 won't print in colour with my macbook air

    Hi , My printer does not print in color  with my macbook air (OS X). pls help...

    Hi,
    If you have Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9, I afraid the printer is not compatible with your Mac and therefore the printing is black ink only:

    Although it is not officially supported, you may be able to get it working using 3rd party solutions as HPIJS as an example..
    Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads and follow the Printer Set Up Instructions:

  • Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

    Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
    Many thanks.
    Crazynow!!

    I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

  • Which processor to choose for Final Cut Pro working with files from DSLR?

    I am shooting in hd with Canon Eos 5d MK II and another camera the Panasonic HDC sd700.
    I am considering upgrading my Mac to either a stationary Mac Pro or an Imac 27 inch (which is a bit more flexible).
    1.) How much difference in performance of FCP between the 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" and the 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 (the latter installed in the Imac)??????
    2.) How much need is there for external esata drives which I can get with the Mac Pro option in regard to performance needs in comparison with the slower FW800 I get with the Imac? Is this crucial? Will FW 800 external drives be to slow?
    I am thinking of installing 8GB of ram if I go for the Imac and 6GB of ram if I go for the Mac Pro.

    A point to remember Motion uses the RAM on the graphics card for rendering not the machine RAM .. I have also read that while FCP is still 32bit it can only access something like 4 / 6Gb RAM at a time .. so as a previous post says you can always add more RAM and more HDDs in a MAC Pro .. indeed it is a breeze to upgrade a graphics card too .. I have both a MAC Pro and an i7 iMAC I never use the iMAC for FCS work .. it is powerful enough but Geekbench (free benchmark tool http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/) puts my MAC Pro way ahead of the iMAC .. my Pro is a 2 X Quad Core 2.26 with 12Gb RAM

  • How do I print a booklet with a colour cover but with black and white inside pages?

    Hi there,
    I need to print a large amount of booklets, which have a colour cover but are grayscale on the inside. However, I am having trouble setting up my document to successfully do this and I am unsure if it is something I can change in InDesign or if it is something I should figure out with my printer driver?
    We used Page Plus for these booklets in the past and were able to do this with the same printer, so that makes me think there might be setting I could change in InDesign to achieve the same result.
    It integral that the printer knows that the inside pages of the booklet are black and white, as we get charged per copy for colour printing and it is vastly increasing our printing costs.
    My coworker believed that exporting the file as a PDF with the options: Colour Conversions (convert to destination - Pressure Numbers), Destination (sRGB IEC61966-2.1), and Profile Inclusion Policy (Don't Include Profiles) is making a difference. However, I don't believe is is the case.
    If anyone had another suggestion that I could try, that'd be great!!

    @Eugene – do you have details for "Export as Grayscale"?
    I tried with the following details:
    Target-Profile: Dot Gain 15%
    Convert to Target Profile
    Include Target Profile
    If I do it this way I get:
    Target Profile not included
    Wrong numbers for my colors
    (I tested with a self-made color wedge on the page for the percentages of Black shown below)
    Seen in Acrobat Pro 10 with proof simulation "Dot Gain 15%":
    100 % Black => 100 %
    80 % Black => 82 %
    60 % Black => 63 %
    40 % Black => 43 %
    20 % Black => 22 %
    I could convert to "Dot Gain 15%" in Acrobat Pro's Preflight Panel, but this would show the same wrong percentages (just tested).
    What I can do, however, is printing to PostScript with color separations, only color channel Black.
    That would work, if I chose a Distiller setting, that will not change the color, to convert my separated PostScript file to PDF.
    Seen in Acrobat Pro 10* with proof simulation "Dot Gain 15%" or any of the other available gray scale profiles.
    (Acrobat Pro 11 might get this wrong due to a bug)
    100 % Black => 100 %
    80 % Black => 80 %
    60 % Black => 60 %
    40 % Black => 40 %
    20 % Black => 20 %
    This separated PDF (channel Black only) can now be converted with a self-made correction* in Acrobat Pro's Preflight Panel to a gray scale PDF/X-1a.
    If done right * the color values stay as defined in inDesign.
    Output in my case:
    PDF/X-1a
    OI: GrayScale profile Black ink of ISO Coated v2 300%
    Tested with:
    InDesign CC 2014.2
    Distiller X
    Acrobat Pro X
    Mac OSX 10.7.5
    Uwe
    * There are several, convoluted steps necessary to get this (hope, I can remember them all):
    Not optional:
    Have a grayscale profile representing the channel Black of your intended output CMYK or generate one!
    In my case the base CMYK profile was: ISO Coated v2 300%.
    And I got a "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%" profile for Grayscale conversions by generating this with my PhotoShop app.
    Maybe optional, but helpful:
    Change the color settings of Acrobat Pro X to use the color settings file you generated in PhotoShop where:
    Grayscale is defined as the black channel of ISO Coated v2 300%: "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%"
    Mandatory, but somehow tricky:
    Then on to the Preflight Panel of Acrobat Pro to generate a custom preflight profile.
    None of the ordinary ones will fit exactly (at least in my Acrobat Pro X).
    1. Make a duplicate of an already stored Preflight profile that converts color to Gray. Name it appropriately.
    2. Include a single correction for converting to Gray Scale (at this time, or if you do something like that the first time, it's not possible to change or duplicate that single correction)
    3. Save your new profile. Close the profile.
    4. Open the profile again.
    5. Now, suddenly it's possible to duplicate that single correction (converting to Gray Scale).
    Do some changes, appropriate correction options, eg. adding "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%" as OI to the PDFs you will convert.
    4. Use that duplicate single correction in your new Preflight profile.
    5. Save your custom preflight profile.

  • Windows 7 64bit Print spooler crash with Acrobat pro 9

    i recently installed a new computer with windows 7 64 bit - also upgraded my old CS to CS 5.  whenever trying to print any .pdf or even look at the .pdf printer settings - my print spoller crashes and i have to go into system32/spool to fix
    has anyone seen this issue?

    If you would like to find which printer driver cause the crash issue, I suggest you isolate each driver and run
    printing job. Please:
    1. Open mmc in Start Search box.
    2. Click File->Add/Remove snap-in
    3. Add "Printer Management". Click Add "The Local Server".
    4. Click Finish.
    5. Expand Print Servers->[server name]. Click on Drivers.
    6. Right-click on the first driver, choose "Set driver isolation"->"Isolated".
    7. Start a printing job.
    8. If the issue still occurs, change the isolation to System Default for this driver, then isolate the next driver
    and start printing job.
    You can find which driver is the root cause.
    You need to involve a Windows 7 compatible driver for Windows 7 clients. If the driver is packed, you can extract
    the driver pack and add the driver from printer server console. However, if the driver is included in an
    installation file, you may try the following method.
    1. Install the driver on one of the Windows 7 clients.
    2. Launch mmc from Start Search box.
    3. Click File->Add/Remove Snap-in.
    4. Add "Printer Management". Point to the server in "Specify the printer server".
    5. Expand "Printer Management"->"Printer Servers"->"Drivers".
    6. Right-click, then click "Add a driver".
    Please follow the instructions to add the Windows 7 printer driver. After doing so the driver should be added into
    the server.
    If the printer driver is not found, the driver should be not designed for enterprise environment. In this case you
    may need to add the printer from the client side manually.

  • Reader 9 - "Print" and "Open with Adobe Reader..." options are missing from the right-click menus.

    Since upgrading from Reader 8 to Reader 9, Windows XP users are no longer able to right-click 1 or more PDF files from Windows Explorer and choose either "Print" or "Open with Adobe Reader...". Those options are no longer listed in the right-click menu. We have experienced this on several computers.  I downgraded a PC to Reader 8, and these options re-appeared, then disappeared again when I upgraded back to Reader 9.

    Could you tell me which version of Reader 9 you are installing?

  • WhenI print from firefox on a Mac everything comes out 50% too light, if I save the image and print from the desktop it looks fine. No problem either printing from FF with Win7. How do I fix FF on the Mac?

    My iMac runs bootcamp, so I have both OSX and win7 available. I run the latest Firefox on both as my primary browser. The printing looks like the ink is running low, but when the same image is printed from other desktop apps the printing looks fine.

    Hi, Jordan -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    If the original drive in the newer Mac is a Western Digital, its jumpers may be set to Single, which WD drives often use when there is only one device on the bus. When a second drive is added, the jumpers on the original must be reset to Master.
    OS 9's utility is named Drive Setup - you should find it in the Utilities folder on the hard drive. Run that. Select the added hard drive in the list, then select Mount Volume from the Functions menu.
    You can also check with that utility to see if the OS believes the drive has been set to automount at boot. Again, select the drive in the list. Then select Volume Settings from the Functions menu - there's a checkbox in that screen to set automount (for freshly initialized drives, that's turned on by default).
    Also, try running Disk First Aid (should also be in the Utilities folder). Let it have a look at the second drive, and repair anything it can.
    Apple System Profiler should report the format of all drives it sees. Is the format of the drive from the old Mac stated as Mac OS Standard, or as Mac OS Extended?
