Hi, Compatible with Mac OSX. Bought this model 5 years ago. Not sure if refurbished unit comes with quick set instructions. Not a seller, so can't help you with ink cartridges. Only negative, the print quality for fine print text is not so sharp...Newer models might have improved.

It has nothing to do with what operating system you have. It all depends on your printer. Is your printer compatible with MAC. If so you get the ink kit made for your printer.

I have a Mac but I am sure it is compatible. You can check on the HP site. They have all the information on it.

I know you asked about this a while ago, but when I was researching this printer, I found this review on Macworld. http://www.macworld.com/article/140167/2009/04/km1650en.html It lists several compatible Mac OS so I am guessing I can use the Konica Minolta Magicolor 1650EN with my Mac. I haven't tried it yet though.

this is a network or usb printer. I have it attached to a Macbook Pro under os/x 10.9. it will work but I have been very dissatisfied with the printer it does head cleanings on its' own schedule and will waste an entire set of inks in a month. - good quality print but expensive to maintain! I would suggest an regular ink jet printer rather than this one.

Yes, it's compatible with Mac! It works perfectly. Rather than use the included cd-rom, I downloaded the most up-to-date version of the software and drivers from the brother support site. Easy as pie- I was printing within minutes.

Vincent -- I'm sorry that I can't answer your question. I gave up on Microsoft some time ago. Windows 7 was my last Microsoft OS. I'm now an Apple fan. It works fine with my iMac. However, would I buy the KX-MB2000 again? No. Even though it still prints OK, it's telling me to replace the drum, which costs almost as much as the printer. When my KC-MB2000 finally goes belly-up, I will do some research (e.g., Consumer Reports) and buy another brand -- and definitely not an ink-jet. Good luck!

What bothered me about this ink was that you needed a chip resetter. You can't just inject the ink and then start printing, its not that simple. You have to buy a refillable ink cartridge that goes with your model, usually about $74.99-$89.99. But yes it does work with said printer, getting it to work and accept it is a different story. Your best bet is to get the refillable cartridge. Pricey but will save money in the long run.

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 doesn't really answer your question but FYI: I bought "compatible" ink from Inkgrabber.com and the cartridges weren't recognized. I swapped the tiny chips from my old Kodak cartridges, which got rid of an incompatibility prompt, but the printer still wouldn't work. I had to buy the Kodak refills to start printing again.

I really like this printer, however I don't have a Mac, so I really can't tel you if it is compatable. Maybe you could go on line and check it out. I don't know why this printer gets some bad reviews, I have had it for about 2 yrs now and I really like it. I do not have a problem getting ink for it. I order my ink on line.

Sorry, I am a life long Mac person, but I would think a printer of this brand and price point would be. Suggest you Google your question. Also you might try to find a PC users group online and post your question there.

As far as I know they are not offering a refillable cartridge. Their are products out their to hack the cartridge software but the company has responded with a dirty little trick on their latest firmware 1.2.3. What it dose is checks the serial number on the cartridge and how much filiment that should be in their , if the numbers don't coraspond they disable your printer so you are screwed. What most of us are doing is downgrading the firmware so we can use any filiment we like . If you would like the web adress to the da Vinci club get a hold of me at dottbryan@gmail.com. The printer is a good unit. And we need to fight this BS of shutting down a product that we buy and own. It's against the laws of ownership I hope this has helpt you out v

Has anyone tried the site www.simplyink.com for buying Canon refills? They claim: "Our compatible ink cartridges include reset chips which show the correct ink levels in your Canon printer." At only $6.99-7.99 a cartridge, I'm very tempted to try them. I have an MP830 (which I absolutely love - I even brag about it sometimes) & am currently paying $56.99 for the 4-pk of color & $33.99 for the 2-pk of black. I have to say, we do a lot of printing & the ink lasts much, much longer than my previous Brother & Lexmark print - plus, has far better quality (even on it's "fast" setting).

Consult the printer's owners manual. You can also request grayscale or black only when queuing up to print. Not very familiar with Mac but that should be a start.

My Mac Pro is using Snow Leopard, so I cannot say for certain it by personal experience. I did find out that it will work with OSX 10.9 and some users have had some difficulty with the scan function. This can now be remediated with a free down load of updated scanner drivers. Other users have experienced problems with the wireless function as far back as my OS version and the problems seem to be related to using the proper router addresses. I don't use the wireless since my computer isn't portable. Hopefully this will provide you with the information you are seeking. As a side note my wife and I both have the same kind of printer and love them. We also use the off brand ink tanks from Amazon which can be purchased for about $4.00 for a set of five tanks. These tanks seem to work as well as the Canon ink tanks other than much less damage to our bank account.

Just wanted to let anyone who has this printer that it is compatible with OSX 10.6. Just finished downloading the newest drivers from the Canon website and now i can use my scanner again! Thank you Canon!
