wireless capabilities? I have a Mac with blue tooth capabilities...will my printer and my computer just sync up?

You will have to get a bluetooth adapter that fits in a socket in the front of the printer. I don't think you have to get the Canon brand however.

The bluetooth adaptor BU-30 for the printer looks to be proprietary. I doubt this would work if you plugged it into the printer port.

No. This dongle is put into the USB port of your computer...it makes your computer blue tooth capable. It is not a receiver of the signal, it is a PRODUCER of the signal. If you have a Bluetooth capable printer, it would allow you to print wirelessly.

Hi, We had some challenges in getting this printer set up. I have a PC and my wife has a MAC. We have FIOS internet coming into our home with a modem in the basement. There is an ethernet connector to our offices and a wireless modem (MAC brand). I had an older AIR port, the type that plugs into the wall and has a USB connector. We connected the HP to that and then connected that to the wireless network. I got help for sure. It can be done.

absolutely. My husband uses it with his all the time. He has bluetooth capability on his laptop & he uses the printer when he is in the field or in the office.

Does it support USB & wireless printing simultaneously (from a Mac)? I don't mean ACTUALLY simultaneous--I mean that it can print both wired (from one computer) and wireless (from another) without having to reconfigure. The reason I ask is that a Canon Pixma MP620 will not--you have to configure it for one or the other at setup

Scott M. is correct. The printer does not have wireless capability. But if you have a router for a home network, connect the printer to a port on the router with an Ethernet cable. Then every device that can talk to the router can see and use the printer. In our house we have three laptops and an iPad all using the printer without difficulty.

Unfortunately not, but I have a Bluetooth receiver from HP that allows connection of up to five (5) Bluetooth compatible devices. So I have an HP BT mouse, keyboard, and HP mobile printer paired on that one receiver. The previous post state they use a wireless printer no problem. However, "wireless" is not Bluetooth. Wireless requires a "wireless" network. Bluetooth requires a "Pairing".

I don't know. But I have an iMac and it does somehow connect wirelessly. For a cheap printer it is fine, though the original toner cartridge didn't last very long at all

I'm not sure. We bought it to print wireless with our Mac. My husband set it up to our windows desktop and works without any problems. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No it is wireless. You have to tell your computer what printer you are using.

Hey what's going on. Well I just seen your review and I have Macbook Pro 15.4 and I sent this up fairly easily. Yes this will work wirelessly with your mac and PC. You have to set this up first with the USB cord first though. From your computer to the printer. I set my wifes first to set up the wireless and run the CD after that it was on the network and ready to run. I then set my Mac up to this and it found it pretty easy. Just remember it doesn't come with the cord from Amazon so that's why I had to buy that cord separately.

I have this printer set up to receive print commands from both PC's and Apple products at my home. Using the wireless network I have sent documents to the printer from an Ipad, Ipad mini, Apple laptop. and a HP laptop. No problems.

I had similar problems Chris. I am only using this printer with my desktop iMac in my private office where it works fine. I run my small medical practice online with 2 Windows laptops--I was able to use this printer successfully at times, but I recall having to delete it and reinstall it a couple of times wirelessly. I think you should delete it, then add it back only via wireless.

Wireless connection has not been successful for me. I have mine on an ethernet connection, and that is working out. I do have to connect via USB to configure the printer, however. The setup is kind of kludgy, but it works. It does require an intel-based mac to have full functionality, but will work with older models using a generic postscript driver.

I've installed it USB to USB. I don't believe it has wireless capability but will check. I don't know about a wired way. The printer doesn't have a port for a parallel or serial feed from a computer

Using a Mac with osX10.7 I was able, not on a Mac with osX 10.5.8- I do not have access to a PC with Bluetooth to say so or not.
