All in one printer for Mac
I want general document printing (small volume), good quality photo printing and scanning.
Must be compatible with a Mac. Any suggestions please? |
can I suggest you don't get a Lexmark (imo)
|
I bought a Kodak printer after all the hype about saving money on printing etc...
I have to say that it is a truly awful printer. Steve |
David,
I've had an HP Photosmart C7280 for a few years and it's pretty good. It's an all in one printer, scanner and fax. It supports ethernet or wireless printing (I've got it hooked up via ethernet) I primarily use it with my iMac (10.6.4) so it's certainly Mac compatible. As said, I've had it for a while, at least three or so years, so it's no doubt been superseded by something better, but it's working well for me. |
I use a wireless lexmark does the job for me cost me around £70 last year
|
Thanks guys - I had an HP 2750 for the last three years - until it had a little accident on Sunday and I broke the scanner glass!! It's been relocated to the Trash!
I was kind of hoping to avoid the HP as it comes with masses of really bad software. The only company to make Orange's software offerings look good! |
HP software for the mac isn't too bad, plus you should be able to use Preview.app to scan from the device, certainly worked ok for me. Now, HP software for the PC, that IS horrific, Seems I could not (without digging around a lot) install just the drivers on my wife's laptop, I had to install the whole HP package thing, which then slows the machine down to a crawl.

that bloatware really sucks -- the actual driver dll will be under 200k but they want you to install loads of bollox
you can always try the universal print driver http://h20338.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/cach...0-225-121.html but not sure if there is a mac version |

My reservations of HP software have not been helped by getting a new HP printer and the only software that cannot see the new printer on the network is the HP installation software! :rolleyes:
