Is this compatible with macs? I've seen such a mixed bag of results. Some say yes, some say no, some say output only. Anyone using this on a mac?

No. Unless... Apple has it's own software for it. It seems that this device is designed for use on the Windows platform only. A word of caution: It's nearing or has entered into its end-of-life for support as well. Some of Creative's newer devices may work with iOS/Apple/MAC, but you have to check their site to verify. This device has been the best investment I have made in about 2 years now. It's a beast of a controller. I use mine everyday and I'm currently duplicating about 500 albums with it. It's a shame that it does not appear to have any driver or software support for Macs. Hope this helps.

Did you get this printer to work with your Macbook Pro? I'm having a terrible time trying to make it work? Thanks for any help.

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.

No it DOES NOT work with Mac! Nor does it work with windows installed on Mac. I purchased it and wanted to return because of incompatibility with Mac but the seller wouldn't take it back. Be careful before you buy.

I am using it right now on the new mac mini. Came back here to write a review stating that it does work with the new mac mini but confirming that here seems appropriate.Had to install kext driver from: plugable dot comListed here in my system: /dev/tty.usbserialAnd I'm using it with a cisco switch now: screen /dev/tty.usbserial 9600

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!

Unfortunately Leda, I have not tried it on a Mac yet, but I do have a Mac in my "other" office (where I do video work) and I'll try and take it over there tomorrow and plug it in to see if it reads it. It's not a laptop, but a tower, but I would think it would be compatible with a Mac. I'll try and let you know what I find out.

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

False. There is a known incompatibility with this monitor and the newer Mac OS on desktop. A driver or third party solution is what I'm inquiring about.

We have ours hooked up to a Mac, and have had no problems at all. Very pleased!

I do not know if it will work with a Mac. I do know that it did not work with some Window computers. It is probably a driver issue.

I have no experience using this with a MAC, you could contact PC magazine, they might have a review on this.

Yes, I was able to use it on a Mac. I did have to go into USB and have it recognize it since it plugs in via USB not speaker like usual. The USB is supposed to give you more clarity. I have not used it enough to confirm that though. Good luck!

I have not used it personally, but apparently there aren't any official drivers yet for Mac. Like the other answers said there is 3rd party software that will allow it to work.

I could not make it compatible with my Mac. I heard there was software online to download for the Mac but could not find it. I would not buy it if you have a Mac.

No I haven't been able to get the software to work for my MAC...sorry I hope that helps. Sadly not many writers doing MAC software
