Compatible printers

The thread was moved from "Wish Lists" by Xenos

Could somebody please provide a link to a list of compatible printers? Perhaps one that can be updated by users, so that we have a comprehensive list before we go shopping.

Thanks

 

Hello Mlle,

You can use any printer that is compatible with your Mac if you set Parallel Port.

If you need the special printer options you can connect it as a USB device - in this case you should install the native drivers. Sometimes drivers conflict is possible.

Here are some printers that has been tested and approved as compatible with Parallels:

HP LaserJet 1320
HP LaserJet 1000
Samsung SCX-4100
Samsung CLX 3160FN
Canon PIXMA 600
Canon PIXMA 810
Canon IP5300

Best regards,
Xenos

 

Thanks, but that's not my findings. Also the Bonjour and GIMP routes are a mess and IMHO just a waste time without achieving anything.

Any experience with the following printers please?
HP Color Laserjet1600
Brother MFC7420
Samsung SCX4200
Brother 7010L

As I say, it would be good to have a comprehensive reference list. The question about printing must arise daily.

Regards
Mlle

We need to make this list much longer to help people to want to buy a new printer. Please assist.

 

Any more suggestions please?

I need a Laser printer or 3-in-1 with a small footprint and that is guaranteed to work. The store salespeople don't know and are not likely to take back a printer if Mac compatible is written on the box.

Thanks

 

Anybody using Brother DCP 7030 printer?

Has anybody had success using a Brother DCP 7030 printer?

As NOBODY has replied to my posts I guess I will just have to buy a printer without feedback and risk the money if it does not work.

My initial post was made one year ago and I simply cannot delay buying a printer for any longer.

PARALLELS staff - this is really a matter that you must address. Your comments (from Xenos) are simply not correct. Parallels will simply NOT print with ANY Mac printer. Even jumping through hoops does not help. I was very excited when I first changed to parallels from VPC, but your Forum support leaves a great deal to be desired!
