I'd like something with fax receiving capabilities and either with ethernet port of Airport Express compatible. Also Tiger compatible. I've read very good things about the newest Brother units, especially the 5480cn with ethernet port, around $180-200. But a quick trip to the Brother web site says that receiving faxes is not supported on the Mac OS. Too bad, because this is one of the things I'd like to do. I am also looking at the HP 5510, which has had pretty good reviews. It's now down in the $120-30 range, so reasonably priced. No ethernet, but we do have an Airport Express, so maybe could use that to connect all our home computers wirelessly. Has anyone used one of these? Any feedback? And what about Tiger compatibility? Anyone using an MFC with Tiger? Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It's GREAT to have one machine that any computer in our house can print to without worrying whether the computer it's hooked to is awake (because this one doesn't hook to any one computer), and I've NEVER had problems printing to it. We got the duplexing attachment. It does, however, occasionally disappear from view for scanning purposes. Sometimes it just disappears from the view of the scanning utility and just restarting the scan utility works. (I generally scan from the HP icon in the dock, though I could acquire from GC if I wanted to.) Sometimes turning the AIO off on works, or pulling the plug. But sometimes nothing seems to get my PB find it on the network - the printer utilities and the scanning utility can't find it, but I can still print to it just fine, go figure! - and I just go ahead reinstall the printer driver - there might be something less extreme, but I haven't found anything yet reinstalling is faster than futzing around. But then, my Canon USB scanner before wasn't always recognized - the only fully reliable scanner I've ever had was a 2nd-hand low-end Microtek SCSI scanner I reluctantly retired when I replaced my WallStreet. I've heard people complain about SCSI being flakey - never for me! All in all, I like having the all-in-one I like having it networked so it can sit in its own little corner somewhere.

Re: Printer / all-in-one recommendations...
Hi, I can thoroughly recommend the Canon Pixma MP780 all in one. It has the picture quality of the straight printers with all the other capabilities that you could need, plus is quick, quiet and very robust, James Bryan On 13 May 2005, at 22:02, Van Snyder wrote: Pardon me if this is a bit off topic, but I figured you guys were the best source for this info.

My understanding related to this is that there isn't one device that works as such under OS X. Van I've been pretty pleased with the Brother MFC420CN. It's a very compact inkjet printer, flatbed scanner and fax with a built in ethernet interface and a built in card reader that I can use from my 560x. I've got it plugged into my wireless router so my wife and daughter can print form anywhere. My desktop (that dare not speak it's name) is connected by ethernet. The solid state 560x doesn't have enough disk space to install the full network package so I'm using a much trimmer USB only driver that offers most of the functions of the network driver in a fraction of the disk space. The paper tray only holds 100 pages or so so it's not a high production machine but for a small office like mine it fits very well. -- Andrew in Ann Arbor -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
