I own Mac products, can I print when not in range of wireless network, is there a way to send a print job from some distance away?

Jimmy, I also own Mac products, but have not tried printing from another room or distance. I think it would be possible if you have a strong enough signal (WiFi). Sorry I can not be more helpful.

My Son has his Apple Laptop, he didn't need any printer driver, just search on the device then suddently pop up the Canon Printer. It's easy and it worked for a certain distance, I will approximate is about at least 30ft range. Hope this answer your question.

you can send a print job from a iphone from a cellular network so it should be able from a mac.

You can print over a wireless network but you cannot send documents from the printer to a computer. You have to buy the extra piece which is about $100. Didn't opt for it, but may in the future. If you have a USB drive, you can just scan documents onto the Drive and pull it up on the computer.

Sure will! I can print from my phone and my wife prints to it from here mac laptop. I haven't figured out how to secure the connection but so far my neighbors haven't printed anything to it. :&gt; I really like this printer a lot!

Not by itself. You would need a wireless print server, which can be found at Amazon.

The only way I know of is to print via the USB cable if you aren't connected to the network it is on.

No to "can the printer be connected to the network wirelessly." It has to be connected with an ethernet cable to your router.ie. printer---cable---router is how it is connected.Great printer though.

I haven't tried it myself, but I'm a big mac user and I have used this printer before on windows computers. The printer itself is USB if I remember right. If you have a USB port on your router, hook it up to that and the printer will pull an IP directly from the router itself (you may have to sign into the router to get it). If you don't have a USB port on your router, you'll need a seperate box like an HP JetDirect to give it an IP then you can connect to it wirelessly. On a mac, you'll need to go into system preferences&gt;print &scan, then hit the plus sign to add. Hope that helps!

The computer must have wifi capability and you must have wifi available. Go to Print, then Search for printers.

The printer itself needs to be plugged into a network via ethernet. You can print wirelessly from a computer to the printer as long as the printer itself is connected via ethernet. You do not need to connect a cable from your printer to your computer in order to print using this printer.

Yes. If you use the software to set up the printer (which is wired), your computer will be able to print to it over your wireless network. Be advised: It is advertised as a Google Cloud Enabled printer. That function no longer works. Brother has stated that they are working to address it, but it is currently not working on this printer.UPDATE: The latest firmware addresses the Google Cloud Print issue

Using its built in Wi-Fi connection, I have printed from a Mac, two iPads and an iPhone. I don's see how three compters would not work as well. Hard wiring might be a hastle.

Yes, but not wirelessly. I spent a lot of time looking up what I was doing wrong that it wouldn't connect. It seems that Apple doesn't use the WPS(?) protocol for wireless printing, and this printer does not use generic WiFi. (If I'm wrong, please, someone let me know because I would like to have this not be connected via USB cable!) For the price, and the print quality, using a cable was not a deal breaker, though.

No, I'm sorry but you can not. This printer is amazing though! I get all my toner from amazon and it's super cheap! I also have not had ANY issues with my printer and I've had it for about a year now! This is an older printer though so it is not wireless and it does not work with Mac computers. If you are printing a TON of paperwork though it does a great job!

I can print with a usb from my mac. Wireless still doesn't work after spending hours with customer care.

Yes, the distance is limited by USB cables distances around 20 feet and they don't come cheap, If you need distance use Cat 5e cables up to 300 ft. but you will need to purchase a print server, IOGEAR they also sell wireless print servers. Hard wire is always better. Are you on a network? networking your printers is a good way to go and others can print also. The IOGAER device pictured here is an inexpensive close Proximity device. two computers to one printer.

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.

Hi --I have a mac. I am interested in a black and white laser printer that copies and prints. I don't really need a scanner. Is there another printer that prints for a mac and copies? I really like the duplexing feature and don't want to give that up. Any suggestions? Should I just by this printer or is there something else out there that fits my needs?Thanks
