Can the Canon MP560 print on both sides on a mac? If so, how? Because my mac doesn't want to cooperate. If so, how?

Select Print from the file menu and when your Print Box shows up there should be a selection Box after the pages designation. One of the selections should be "Duplex Printing and Margins". (That is on my Pixma 5000- yours may differ somewhat.) Once you select the parameters you want you can select "Presets" near the top of your Print Box and click on" Save as" and give it a name (Perhaps "Duplex Printing"?). Thereafter, if you want Duplex Printing just select it from the selection Box keeping in mind that if you DON'T want Duplex Printing at any time, you will have to select the "Standard" Mode again.

Assuming that is the latest update, (because I have a 2 MACs in my home) then you should not have any problems. I use this machine to print from my MACs, as well as mu Air and iphone.

Yes I often use this feature to print on both sides of the sheet using a Mac.

No, the MF4770n does not print on both sides. The Canon Mf4890dw & MF4880dw do print on both sides.

It does not work correctly with dual screen configuration on mac os 10.9, e.g. a laptop with an external screen in which case dialog windows from the capture software display outside of the accessible window space. Canon has known about this several months and not fixed it.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/laser_printers/imageclass_lbp6200d#DriversAndSoftware There are several versions of drivers for Mac OS, from the newest Mavericks all the way back to Mac OS 8?! Once you have the drivers installed (your Mac may do it for you automatically), you can print to this printer. And yes, I am answering this question from experience.

In general, Lexmark and Canon make USB inkjet printers that work well with both Windows and Mac. IMPORTANT: while most of their USB printers are Win+Mac compatible, a few of them are not. If possible, try to find out either by walking into a store and finding the compatibility on the box or reading comments or checking the manufacturer's webpage about the printer. For instance, this URL is for the Canon Pixma MP495. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mp495 Click on "Specifications". Roughly 2/3 down the webpage you'll find "OS Compatibility". I haven't tried HP on an Apple product and I keep finding very mixed reviews about their Mac drivers, but apparently Apple thinks they're good; I spec'd out a new iMac yesterday and the top 3 recommended printers were all Hewlett Packard. I guess it's because only HP is using AirPrint at the moment. I haven't checked Epson in a few years but my experience with them is that they make excellent Windows printers but the Mac drivers from Epson are horrible and will cause you to hate your printer. (I'm hoping they've fixed this but if they have I haven't heard about it.) Good luck!

I print directly from Photoshop CC from my Mac. It was easier to print from Windows, but it is certainly doable. Just make sure you go through the print setting menus in Photoshop to set up the printer properly.

Very. There are two different drivers you can use, one is built in to the OS (CUPS Driver, if that means anything to you, if not, it's not important); the other, downloadable from Brother directly. The driver from Brother may work better in terms of duplexing from some programs, but either is sufficient for all tasks. Brother also has supported Macs for as long as I can remember, and were quick to get updated drivers at every OS upgrade as well. For Macs, I believe Brother probably has the best support of all the major printer manufacturers. EDIT: Just saw the price (689 as of 2/17/14), there are other available models that will also be compatible, and $400 cheaper.

Not sure about the mac issue, I use a PC. It will work with a printer if the printer is bluetooth enabled. I personally haven't seen any that are, there are a lot of wifi enabled printers, not sure about the bluetooth....

Sam, I have no problem running this on the three different macs in my studio. I run a Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and an air, and all three use the printer just fine.

If you're willing to use a manual technique and you use Windows (not a Mac) then the driver supports two-sided printing with a manual step. It's super easy. Just tell the print driver you want it double sided, print it, then grab the stack of paper printed, drop it into the new paper tray the same way you removed it from the top of the printer, and hit the continue button on the printer. Works perfectly. All pages are in the correct sequence and orientation.

Help!! Is it possible to connect a Mac G5 and a Dell 9100 PC simultaneous to the Canon Pixma MP780? If so, what do I need?

It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work. Have not yet set up fax.One mountain at a time. It is somewhat "gelded" from the Windows features. Not all are available to the Mac user. Sure wish Canon would just come out and clearly (and up front) explain that. Buyer beware is still a caveat to to remember.Scanning one sided page at the breakneck speed of about 35 seconds per page. Slow as molasses on a winter's day. Each page was skewed. The "grabber" must not be in sync.Less and less pleased with this unit. It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work.

Hi Judy. I have used the Canon pixma ip3000 on several Macs. One was a G3 iBook. One was a G4 Emac. Currently I use it with my new imac intel duocore. NEVER had a problem. I did have some problems matching up color in Photoshop but that is all. With my new iMac, I didn't even have to install the software!!! I just plugged the printer into my apple wireless thingie (sorry forget name of it) and my computer recognized it! It doesn't give me detailed ink info, etc, though but I know it will once I install the software. BTW, I am one OS below Leopard, Tiger I think. Good luck!
