Printers

Post by ronk » Sat Sep 20, 2014 12:23 pm

I got all kitted up with Apple stuff earlier this year. iPad/imac/Iphone and now I need to sort a compatible printer.

Any advice or opinions would be appreciated :thumbsup:

Excellent. Obviously you don't have to get it from the Apple store...

I got one of these, print quality is great, as is connectivity with mobile devices but find with the mac book you are better off using the USB cable, my mac book is from 2010 tho so may be fine with later models. Also, if you do get this, I encourage you to use the apple scan software not the software that comes with. As with everything samsung hard ware is great but software not.

You should also make sure your router has a wps button or at the very least a virtual one in the settings

I've got an http://www.printerland.co.uk/WorkForce- ... tAod5woAtA
It does everything! It prints directly from my idiotphone and idiotpad
Also it is an inkjet but performs better than a laser, it does bulk scanning, etc etc and the inks last ages.

Will that have any effect on security ? Sorry if that's a dumb question :)

No, it does make it easy to pair the printer with the router though.

I've got an M127FW (similar to the model A!GSS posted)

Set-up was painless and it works nicely with all the devices in the house (windows/osx/linux/ios)

Make sure it has AirPrint to easily print from iPhone or iPad.
