help, so what are the best printers for Macs in a home office environment with pcs and Macs ?

i have a wifi network, the computer and printer can see each other, but i press print and nothing happens, likewise the scanning situation sometimes works, sometimes does'nt,

i have finally had enough.

i will hardwire a printer scanner to my Mac - is that the best thing to do ?

I am a bit confused with the printer updates. For example, when I installed my new printer drivers I used HP's disc so all the specific printer features were installed. All works fine, then software update downloaded the hp driver updates 2.8, and updated the driver over the stock HP one. Still fine, however, 2.9 doesn't show up in software update. I was wondering if apple basis the need for the update on the specific printer used, or is the update a manual download only, when you already have a previous update installed.

Thanks

your mac will choose what one it wants to use... if you have problems with your printer... go with the latest driver released ...

No print servers. We IP print and scan, except where the consumer printers only support Bonjour on the Mac OS.

HP Printers and the Mac has always been very troublesome for the multitudes of people I've known to use them. Scanner functions will come and go with the tide, forget about printer sharing over wireless being consistent with some HP models (if it works at all) between Macs & PCs.

I feel like HP treats Mac users as second class citizens and I refuse to buy their printer products because of it.

I disagree. I've been using only HP Printers with Macs since 1986 and have never had a problem with them. I use 3 computers (all Macs) with one HP OfficeJet Pro and it has never failed me.

Not true I have never had any problems? The problem may be using older Mac OS or outdated drivers and software.

Macinman replied on 27 Apr 2012

I would agree with the other two replies here. I've used HP photosmart printers for a while now without any issues. The only problem i've run into was native AirPrint support with an older printer, but that wasn't HP's fault, or my fault, it just happened to be an older model without wifi directly built into the printer, and to get it to work ivi a airport, i needed the third party AirPrint enabler for os x. I have bought the photosmart 7510 as a replacement for the c5180 that died after four years, and haven't had a bit of issues, even worked out of the box with my iPhone. The efax feature is nice too and why i stuck with HP i needed a fax solution for the occasional fax i may need to send and receive. the nice thing is with eFax no phone line is required.

To those saying you've had no issues with your printers, that's great for you. But try sharing the printers between Macs and PCs and then you'll have a different opinion. Also, to those saying it's because of using old drivers or hardware, that's not true. This has happened to my clients, friends and family with brand new HP computers with the latest drivers from HP. I've seen this going on for years and years with scores of people.

Sometimes the HP printers do work fine, but all too often I've seen extremely frustrated people have issues with HP printers on the Macs whether dealing with scanning, sharing or just trying to look at their cryptic support on their website.

Gggvt replied on 28 Apr 2012

Been supporting 27 HP laser printers in 5 different locations (schools) for over 10 years, in a mixed PC, Mac, and Linux environment without any major issues. My fellow employees (Six in the same mixed environments at 21 locations) have not reported any major software issues, only hardware issues where consumer units are purchased or the printers are kept way too long.

That said, several of the locations are running HP 4000n and 2100n models, which have required only drum replacements or roller kits during that 10 year period.

Cowicide replied on 28 Apr 2012

Gggvt, it sounds like they were probably all hooked up to a printer server in that environment. I'm talking about in homes where you want to share an HP printer from a PC to a Mac. Once again, have seen very spotty results for many years with many people. I cringe when I see an HP nowadays because of this.

I see apologists in here that keep trying to infer it's because the printers are "old", etc. - But, I've seen the same issue with NEW and old HP's.

Usually, the main problem is the multi-function printers that don't play nice. I've been working with a brand new HP printer and brand new Mac Mini for a client and that HP consisently stops allowing access to its scanner. The problem occurred for a previous IT person as well, so it's not just me.

On the other hand, with brands, I never have these hassles... the printers/scanners just work.

so what did you do ?

Cowicide replied on 09 May 2012

@feddy Not share the printers and have to unplug them and plug them in directly to the Mac or PC as needed. I hate HP printers.

This software does work as of Dec 24, 2011. When adding the printer, you must scroll and find the HP 1022 software.

The installation process is not very good, but it does work for me with Lion 10.7.2

Hi Fellow MACers, so here's the latest as of 10/31/2011. I just purchased a MacBookPro O/S Lion and tried to add it to a small business network running Windows XP and an HP 1200n BusinessJet. After 4 or 5 hours on the phone with MyApple Support and the HP Business Support, the most recent HP printer drivers update for LION will not work for any HP printer with a model number lower than 2500. HP will no longer support any of their printers with a model number smaller than 2500 for LION. So, if HP decided not to support my small business, then I have decided not to support HP. I just purchased a new Brother MFC-J6710DW and tossed my HP in the garbage. The Brother is wireless and operates on both Windows XP and Lion O/S with full support for both systems. HP has made some poor business decisions. Maybe Meg Whitman can help fix things there. Sadly, it"s too late for me. I'm a Brother customer now.

I bought the same Brother you did...... no worky, piece of crap, would start to print and crash my computer. Put back on my HP6500 and low and behold, magic. It prints with Boot Camp and OS X 106 and up to the latest of course, 10.7.3... My Brother, my Brother is in the trash, 2nd Brother I have had trouble with. Never again will Brother be in my set ups at home or my business. HP as always done amazing things for me and the support makes Brother seem like a beginner at what they try to do.... funny how we have different issues, and come up with different answers. That is the way I have to look at it, since I wasted several thousands of $$ on Brother. Now it goes to HP.

I had the same problem. I've thought the printer was dead.
What I've done is to throw in the rubbish and uninstall every things who was associated with HP: Users/(your name)/Library/Printers and Macintosh HD/Library/Printers. The only thing you must to keep is the PPDs file. After this, go to System Preference/Print & Scan. Click on the HP printer and click on "–" to leave it blank. Then, install the original driver for your printer, MAC OS X will recognize your printer (just go again in System Preference after the installation and you will see your printer). After this of course, you should never install again the Apple HP Printer Drivers. Hope this gonna help you.

My HP Laserjet 1022 does not work properly and has not been working properly since 10.6 now we are at 10.7 and I still don't have any working drivers for this otherwise fully functional and working machine.

Apple / HP, whoever is organizing this: Please give the coder guys in korea a call and let them write decent drivers for the HP LJ 1022.

Thanks!

P.S.: Or is this intended? You want me to buys a new printer? Ok then, well it's not gonna be an HP printer this time.

Same problem here...

Fofer replied on 27 Oct 2011

Ironically enough, the only way I am able to get my HP LJ 1018 to work is by using the drivers for the 1022. Go figure. Maybe's worth a shot trying the 1018 drivers… maybe the HP coder guys got 'em mixed up… LOL

Howard Kim replied on 28 Oct 2011

The driver the LaserJet 4MV is pretty generic will work with most HP laser printers.

What does this update do? Half a gig download, 600 MB install and the software in Applications was not changed. How can drivers take up 600 MB?

Nice job HP! I know it's silly, but I was happy as clam that I finally didn't have any persistent permissions errors in Lion. After installing the latest HP drivers there's now a whole log window with permission errors that say they've been repaired, but even after a restart and repair again the same files keep showing up repeatedly. Well done HP, I commend you on your mediocrity!

Ummm... why then does the linked kb article above mention it's for Lion as well as 10.6 and the update also shows up in Software Update in Lion?

Dr. Andy Woo reviewed on 22 Mar 2011

The new HP Laserjet 1022 driver is awful. It is very slow when you want to print - it takes almost a minute or two to do copying before trying to print. This is really bad because if your print job is big, it takes forever. The first when it happened I thought MacBook hung - and later only I realize that this is causing the problem.

I have the same printer and the strong feeling HP want's us to buy a new machine - simply by providing broken drivers.

Or their testing department is on crack.

I'm not sure which is the case.

Gsnxn had trouble on 29 May 2010

Same issue. I've now installed it five times now. I suspect we all also have installed the "drivers" (i.e. big bloated crapware package - almost 500MB!) for a new HP All-In-One, or something similar. I haven't found a fix yet either, except for telling Software Update to ignore the update.

I really wish Apple would release an update that included these drivers, so that this issue would stop and I could uninstall all that HP junk!

This was supposed to be in the thread for SOLOSAINT's comment; I'm not sure why the threading didnt work.

Jeffsters had trouble on 16 Nov 2009

I have tried to install this twice even and after a reboot, with a repair permissions for good measure, each try it never gets passed the final "Running Package Scripts" with about a minute to go. It sits there running 100% CPU with "kextd" as the culprit. Might just be my system but an FYI! I am running 10.6.2 on a MB Pro Core 2 Duo.

UPDATE: I left it alone and after 14 min it FINALLY finished. Not sure what was going on or why it takes 100% of the CPU for 14 min to install a print driver on my system but it's done and an FYI to anyone else that sees this issue.
