Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

I got a Canon MX340 about 3 months ago from the new Apple Centre in Perth. Cost around $220 and I have had no problems at all with printing, copying and scanning ! I had 2 HP's prior to that and scanning with the Mac was a pain in the butt !!! On 20/10/2010, at 10:32 AM, Steven Knowles wrote: >

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Hi Steven I'm glad you asked your "dumb" question as I too have been looking at the shops recently with a view to purchasing a Multi-function printer - so I am looking at the responses you get. There is just such a huge range out there and it is so hard to decide what is right. All the re

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Hi Marlene I've had a couple of recommendations. Apparently Choice ranked most highly the Dell V715w, followed by the Lexmark IntuitionS505. I hadn't even thought about those brands. I've looked at other reviews of the V715w - seems that it's ink-hungry, and there was some mention that Dells ar

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Hi, I'm not an expert here, but the last time my (inkjet) printer started playing up, I got a Canon MP140 Pixma from Officeworks for about $50. It was one of their cheapest, and may have been a promotion. It's behaved very well really, the scanning software is pretty intuitive and flexible, there i

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

I like your suggestion David. Sounds sensible to me ... my understanding is that the manufacturers often lose, maybe break even, on the printer itself in cunning anticipation of making fat margins on consumables thereafter. Your move puts a bullet in that plan! :-) Daniel, after your Epson reco

Hi Steven I had an HP for about 2 years and gave trouble since day 1 Have just changed to an Epson TX710W and it works like a charm Paid $188 at Office Works Cartridges of course cost almost as much for a full set Graeme On 20/10/2010, at 2:04 PM, Stephen Chape wrote: > I got a Canon MX340 about

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Hi Steven Without starting a flame war, and please realise I'm not making a dig at you, or anyone else for that matter,... But this first thing always bothers me with these printers. The amount of "good waste" that we all go through with new printers that are still good, but it's cheaper to buy a

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

I don't disagree with you Daniel, and I definitely don't take it as a dig. Printers and printer consumables must be right up there in terms of the world's offensive on the environment. Hey, maybe we can lobby the government ... legislate for no more home printers! Publicly accessible printers

Hi Steven Yeh, I think you're right on the most offensive! (And glad you didn't take it as a dig. It's always sometimes hard to get gestures across on email, so I always try make sure things don't get taken the wrong way) :o)) (smiley faces are always a good safe bet) Makes you wonder who's mak

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Hi All Many thanks for all the recommendations - but - I have been out looking again this afternoon and came across a Canon MP560 for a really good price at Dick Smith - $ 129! The same machine was $229 at the Apple shop, $197 at JB Hi-Fi and the Good Guys, and $168 at Office Works. It really

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

The opinion of one salesman about Brother was that they're not bad for laser printers, but they fall short on inkjet. But yep, Brother worth a look if you need A3, and according to the same sales guy, no prob with Mac compatibility. To clarify for others though, the HPs I mentioned (8500 and 85

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Weird. I sold a client a colour inkjet A3 printer/scanner (the MFC-6890CDW) and they love it. And it works really really well. Wasn't terribly expensive for an A3 unit, with an RRP of $579 (I did it cheaper then that though). But yeh, the use it all the time and are very happy with it. Still, alw

Re: Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanne r for Mac?

Having been to many printer vendor service training sessions where it was clearly outlined, it is no secret that they sell "printers" in order to have a continual revenue stream of consumables including paper/ink/toners/drums/transfer rolls etc. ("printers" means..any output device that needs tone

Hi Daniel, Are you having iPhone emails disappearing since upgrading to ios 4? I am. Very frustrating and very nearly some missed business I have a theory that they are all stuck in a pipe somewhere in Scandinavia (or maybe Missouri?) and at some point soon, the pipe is going to burst and th
