Network compatability with Mac OS X 10.4.10? Having just received this printer and set it up, I am trying to connect wirelessly to it from my laptop. My impression is that the laptop has some way of detecting the printer, perhaps through a program called Bonjour. I cannot locate this program on this computer, though, and the only downloadable versions I can find are for windows. Does anyone have any advice? Network compatability with Mac OS X 10.4.10?

Firstly, yes the 2070N seems to be fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.10. I haven't noticed any differences during printing compared to previous OS X versions. Now to reduce any chance of misunderstanding your post, the 2070N is not a wireless printer. It can be added to a wired network and then become a part of a wireless network via a separate transmitter, but the functionality does not come built-in. And if you are on a Mac, Bonjour is already a part of OS X.

Open System Preferences-Internet& Network-Sharing-Firewall. Allow printer sharing on both computers.

Works fine on my mac (osx 10.9) and windows 7. Not sure the dude saying it only works on xp is right. I have the same printer.

In Mac OS 10.7 (on Mac Pro) and Mac OS 10.8 (McBook Air), I turned on the printer, then selected Mac System Preferences&gt;Print and Scan, then hit the '+' sign. Software Update retrieved the software from Apple and installed it. The last step is introducing the printer to the wi-fi network. See the 'Printing via Wireless LAN' section starting on page 25 of the manual, available at http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300008008/02/cp900-pug2-en.pdf. I am not familiar with Windows setup. Much of the setup is controlled from the Selphy control panel; instructions include graphic illustrations that are too difficult for me to translate into words.

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.

We use it with both mac and windows. It works equally well with both. Great printer. I highly recommend it.

I can print with iMac, but I believe it is only through wifi. Cannot print with ipad or iphone.

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.

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.

Recently I successfully networked this printer from a Dell Inspiron and an iMac. So far, we have had no issues with printing from multiple computers.

I have Yosemite10.10.1 on an iMac and i downloaded a driver from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 DONT WASTE UR TIME WITH THE DRIVER THAT CAME WITH THE PRINTER

It can work with this printer as usb printer but only in xp or win7. I'm not sure if this could work under mac os.

Does it support USB & wireless printing simultaneously (from a Mac)? I don't mean ACTUALLY simultaneous--I mean that it can print both wired (from one computer) and wireless (from another) without having to reconfigure. The reason I ask is that a Canon Pixma MP620 will not--you have to configure it for one or the other at setup

Hi Judy.I have used the Canon pixma ip3000 on several Macs. One was a G3 iBook. One was a G4 Emac. Currently I use it with my new imac intel duocore. NEVER had a problem. I did have some problems matching up color in Photoshop but that is all. With my new iMac, I didn't even have to install the software!!! I just plugged the printer into my apple wireless thingie (sorry forget name of it) and my computer recognized it! It doesn't give me detailed ink info, etc, though but I know it will once I install the software. BTW, I am one OS below Leopard, Tiger I think. Good luck!

We have our printer on a network and our Windows 7, WindowsXP and iMacs all connect to it and print without issue.We download the print driver from HP, and run the install process before attempting to add the printer.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/laser_printers/imageclass_lbp6200d#DriversAndSoftware There are several versions of drivers for Mac OS, from the newest Mavericks all the way back to Mac OS 8?! Once you have the drivers installed (your Mac may do it for you automatically), you can print to this printer. And yes, I am answering this question from experience.

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.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I am considering buying this printer and I use only MAC computers.
