Printer and scanner that is Mac friendly

[Lino]

My one director at work wants me to get quotes on a printer/scanner etc that is Mac friendly. However I am a serious Mac newbie

I think pretty much any USB printer/scanner works. It says on the box too, look for a blue square smiley face.

I would suspect HP. HP has excellent driver support. My Officejet 6313 All-In-One has drivers ffor Windows, OS X & Linux.

Keep in mind that OS X can also use unix/linux CUPS drivers.

Printing on OSX is awesome, drivers are delivered via OSX update and are stable unlike 3rd party windows drivers that are developed by some cheap Asian developers.

I've found the Canon 3in1 products work very well, prices range from R 1000 basic scanning/printing to R 3500 for all the bells and whistles

For the scanning part, I'd recommend HP over Canon (don't have experience with other brands on the Mac). The Canon software is horrible. I sold my Canon scanner and got a cheapy HP - couldn't be happier.

My canon scanner works well, I use the OSX drivers.

I recently bought a HP OfficeJet 6500 and can only recommend it. It can print, scan and fax. Fully networked, with scanning over the network using the document feeder and flatbed. You can get it as wireless and with a duplexing unit. The Mac Software is really good, on par if not better than the windows version. It's come a really long way since I looked at Mac printers some years ago.

I recently bought the Lexmark top of the range WIRELESS printer. Works great, and has wireless built in - no cables, works with Mac....most printers will work with a Mac, that i have seen. But as was said here earlier, it will show on the box what operating system it has drivers for

Fujitsu Scansnap S1300 - superb, perfect Mac support 8 pages/minute double sided scanning straight to searchable PDF (ie OCR on the fly and file size in KB range not MB...) - but hard to get in SA.
