Which printer will make the fewest problems?

Hi,
I plan to buy a new printer, since my current one (Canon Pixma 4600, had it for 3 months) is causing problem after problem. I am sick and tired of reinstalling the printer over and over. Reminds me of my windows days...
I used to have a basic HP inkjet that did run great with and without Airport Express.
Any recommendations for a compact, problem-free printer?
(PS: I do not care about photo printing, I do basic stuff only)

The opinion of a problem free printer is not objective. I'm sure that someone else who is using the same printer as you is not having to reinstall the driver many times. And any recommendation someone else has may not work perfectly for you.
Having to reinstall the printer driver would indicate to me you have an issue with your Mac, in as far as its interoperation with the Canon driver and the core system and installed applications. This could be a fault of the Canon driver, possibly due to a conflict with something left over from a previous install, such as the HP Ink Jet driver suite. Therefore you could look at not using the Canon software and using version 5.2.3 of Gutenprint, which lists the iP4600 as a supported printer. If it works then at least you have narrowed down the cause, but if it fails in the same manner then you know you have something wrong at the core which another printer won't necessarily resolve.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • Which operating system has the least problems for IPad

    Which operating system has the least problems for IPad? I have 3.0 and probably should upgrade. Thanks

    You're using an original iPad? Definitely upgrade to the newest version of iOS. Many apps will require iOS 5.1.1 and it will run fine on your iPad.

  • Software that will make the Platinum 5.1 card work on Windows XP computer

    I've had Soundblaster Li've! 5. Platinum card in my Windows 98 computer since 200 and it works fine. I recently bought a computer from an auction which has Window XP Professional Service Pack 3 installed. I would like to unplug the sound card from my Windows 98 computer and plug it into my Windows xp computer since I really would like to stop using Windows 98 since the Windows xp computer that I now have is much better.
    Since posts on your forum indicate that the installation CD of this sound card does not work with Windows XP, I am wondering whether I can download software that will make the Platinum 5. card work on my Windows xp computer.
    Both computers work fine. Thank you.

    Hello,
    LabVIEW 5.0 is not officially supported on Windows XP, as it was released before XP was released. However, it will most likely work, other than a "Wrong OS" message that you may recieve during installation. I have successfully installed LabVIEW 5.0 on my XP machine and not run into any trouble. However, you should be aware that issues you encounter may not be supported. Please see these KnowledgeBases on our website for more information:

  • TS3367 My FaceTime will make the call but will not connect and will sometimes say call failed. What do i do?

    My FaceTime will make the call but will not connect and will sometimes say call failed. What do i do?

    don't update to iOS7 just yet if you prefer 6.  Many are saying that's the cure, but there are lots of iOS7 users here who can't make Facetime work either.
    It would seem Apple has either a big problem on their hands, as this is now a week old, or they don't know how to fix it.  Either way, email Apple tech support your concerns

    Hello xerxes.nashion,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

  • Which server will get the load?

    Hi all
    I have 2 servers, on 'server1', I have an flv file, on
    'server2', I have an swf file.
    The swf file on server2 loads the flv file on server1. My
    question is, which server will get the burden of the load of the
    flv file? Additionally, how can I test this to confirm this (bare
    in mind, I'm not a server guy).
    Any help is always appreciated.
    Thanks
    Chris

    You can basically publish it to one Origin Server and that server will republish the incoming stream to other 3 origin servers. This feature is called Multi-point publish. Basically you use application.onPublish and onUnpublish handlers in conjunction with Server-side NetStream Class to achieve this.
    Simple example:
    var nc;
    var ns;
    application.onAppStart = function(){
          nc = new NetConnection();
         nc.onStatus = function(info){
              // you can trace connection status here
         nc.connect("rtmp://Origin_Server_2/myApp");
    application.onPublish = function(myClient,myStream){
        ns = new NetStream(nc);
        ns.attach(myStream);
        ns.publish(myStream.name,"live");
    application.onUnpublish = function(myClient,myStream){
          ns.publish(false);

    Hi,
    Can Any one tell me
    In Which table Will maintain the All Workflows Triggering Event Details?

    Hi Mohit,
    The Tr Codes KE29N/KE28L will give me the Logs of Past TDD runs. However, i would like to see the all the variants in a go. Due to a Organizational change, there is a new characteristics introduced. Now we need to change the sequence of the TDD runs. Since there are lot of TDD Variants that are in use. we need to get all of them into an excel and then decide the necessary changes.
    Thanks & Regards

  • When apple will solve the wifi problem ?

    when apple will solve the wifi problem ?

    They keep trying, but haven't yet in all the time OS X has existed. Every version of OS X has had some WiFi issue with some group of users. The normal pattern is they release a fix for one group, and another group develops a new WiFi problem.

  • HT1726 i have heard that charging less than 80 percent will make the battery lasts longer, does anybody have any idea about that?

    hi,
    i have heard that charging less than 80 percent will make the battery lasts longer, does anybody have any idea about that to help me?

    I don't know where you heard that statement but it's completely incorrect.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • HT1444 Upgrading from 10.5.8 to 10.6 (or later) which later version makes the most sense?

    For work-related remote-access using Citrix, I will need to upgrade from V10.5.8 to V10.6 (or a later version).  Which new version would make the most sense?

    Since it's a 10.5 era issued machine and rather dated, the best OS X version is 10.6.3 via the white retail disks, call Apple Sales by phone and order it for $29.
    10.6 will run your presently installed 10.5 software as 10.7 or 10.8 will not. Also 10.7 or 10.8 will slow your machine down to a crawl, so it doesn't make much sense to go there.
    Since your machine is getting long in the tooth, it's got not that much longer to go, I would be considering a newer 10.8 or 10.9 machine (next summer) and ease yourself into in.
    So 10.6 now, 10.8 or 10.9 on a new machine later.
    Don't upgrade to 10.8 and don't worry about it, over 50% of OS X users are on 10.6 currently, (30% on 10.7) and about 5% on 10.8 just released.
    Things to consider before upgrading OS X
    Back up only your personal info off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!), disconnet it. Stick the 10.6.3 disk in and run the updater.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If you need to wipe and install, (like if you have problems because your 10.5 is funkyed up)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Install your programs from fresh original sources and last hook up your storage drive and return files into same named accounts.
