How well does this printer work with Mac OS and laptops? How well does it scan multiple pages and create PDFs from them? Thank you for sharing.

this is not a scanner, this machine is only a printer and it works on Macs just fine.

I have a MAC and it probably has something wrong with it so it would not read the CD-ROM. I set it up online. I am a real estate agent --this machine is worth it's weight in gold for me. Handles 40 page contracts, scans beautifully and fast, prints amazing brochures!! Very happy!

Yes, very well. My wife and I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro - originally ran OS X 10.6.x and now are running OS X Mavericks (10.9). The Epson WorkForce WF-3520 works with them perfectly, both directly attached and wirelessly. The scanner and printing features, like the double-sided printing, work without any trouble or hassle. The only thing we haven't tried is faxing because our home business does things electronically (such as PDFs) instead of faxes.

1. Printer, yes....downloaded software from Canon labelled for 1.5.8 to 1.6 something ... prints fine, shows photo of machines, and a subpar local web page status monitor - but have NOT YET got the scanner to send to the imac, though it does to a Windows machine on the network, ... installs software for Window didn't help Mac2. Am downloading scanning software from here ... NO IDEA how successful I will be! http://mac.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=124419&t;=0&i;=2

I am unable to answer that question with a definite answer. However, I do remember reading that it works with the PC as well. I connect this printer to my Macbook Pro (Apple).

I have no problems accessing from older Mac Mini (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and from an Intel z77-based Hackintosh (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Of course it also works from all our desktop, laptop, and netbook PC's. I also access from our Android phones and tablets using the Dell Mobile Print app. Love this printer!

Well, the consensus of those who responded is that it works with Macs, if drivers are installed, on OS X 10.5.8 "and up". That last bit has me, though. I currently own a Canon MP600 that is totally useless (and the reason I am looking to buy another printer). Why? Because I upgraded the Mac OS (I'm at 10.8.5, 'Mountain Lion') and discovered Canon does not support that OS. So if you are a Mac user who upgrades the OS from time to time, beware! You may be buying a printer that will be obsolete to you in a relatively short time. Shame on you, Canon!

I'm not well versed with Macs, but I have a fairly new MacBook pro and just updated to the newest operating system. Printer works fine, no issues.

My issue is that there are not many printers that work with OSX 10.8.4. Is this printer Airprint capable from an IOS device, and does this printer work wirelessly with OSX 10.8?

It's a great printer, but I haven't been able to get it to work with my Windows 8 computer. It works fine with our Macs, Windows 7 and Windows Vista computers. It could be just me though. I may just not have been able to figure it out...

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 the printer but use a PC, not a Mac. That scan speed seems extraordinarily slow. My page scans take 30 seconds, if that long. I have a cable connection between the printer and my router.

Works great with a Mac. All functions supported and included software for all applications for PC and Mac both. This is a really nice printer/fax/scanner for the price

I print 3 inch wide pages on a regular basis and it handles them without any issues. I only use mine with macs so I can't speak to the windows 7 compatibility, but knowing brother I doubt there would be any issues.

I don't know anything about Mac's. This printer works wonderfully well for my pc and my laptop. I have used the scan, copy, and print modes and am happy. Haven't had the need to fax anything, but I don't have any reason to think it won't work just fine.

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. Very.
