I use it exactly that way . There is no problem whatsoever. It's a great product, extremely well made and you will be well pleased with it's performance.

yes..but you need to find software that is for powerpc..google "powerpc software for mac".

Yes, you can. You will plug one computer in to PC1 and the other one in to PC2. There is a button on top of the switch that you will have to press to indicate which computer is printing.

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.

I would Goggle Brother Printer MFCJ4710DW wireless set-up for Mac. When in doubt just Goggle it (:>Here is the PDF of the manual. Go to the index and check out wireless. They also offer FREE support & the Tel. # is 877-276-8437. Page # 5 is about Mac's. Pages 133-134 address network issues. Hope this helps.!

No. There are no Mac drivers made for this printer. I have searched high and low.

I'm not entirely sure. It did work with my HP photosmart c4180 printer. As long as you have the usb hookup on the MacBook, I would assume it would work. I do see in another review that it did not work with an iMac. I hope this helps some. Thanks for contacting us.

I use with pc..im not sure. But most of necessaries work on pc and mac today. This is much simple more than printer.so i think it is going to work.

Neither. it simply makes printers usable on a network by tricking your PC or Mac into thinking that the device is attached to a usb port. Not an elegant solution, lacks meaningful support from the manufacturer, and unfortunately the software is a bit buggy. We basically stopped using the printer until I find time to implement some other solution.

You can operate one printer using two computers. However, you will need to use the provided manual switch to change the printing source computer.

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.

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).

This is a stand alone unit that does not connect to the computer. What you are probably referring to is the Brother QL-500 Label Printer which is PC & MAC compatible and is operated from your computer.

i would personally think not. it is call a "printer" wire. Don't know if I would take a chance. Works great as a printer connection for my portable printer to my macbook pro.

If your Mac accepts dual monitor output, which I'm not sure of, then it should be able to. Are you planning to connect a notebook or desktop?

If it is a recent printer, you should have no problem at all! Recent meaning in the last few years. If it has USB, it will work for sure. Enjoy your new Mac!

This is a mechanical device. It does not care if you are using a Mac, Windows whatever number or letters. If it works with your other computers, I suggest you check the connection between the switch and you windows 8 computer. I am confused are you trying to use it on three computers? The switch is to connect two computer to a printer or whatever you want to share, not three.
