i just looked up the Lexmark website and it says that it does work w/ Mac. 10.3.9, 10.4.4 and 10.5x Intel, PowerPC. I don't know how well it works, but I want one!!

Just go to Lexmark's site and search for the driver. Try here: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode;=LEXMARK_X4650&actp;=PRODUCT&id;=DR9768&segment;=DOWNLOAD&userlocale;=EN_US&locale;=en

I have x4650 in Spain and it was ok with my windows pc however I have tried using it with my iPad and the safari operating will not accept Lexmark listener that you need to use printer, I have tried to sort it online with Lexmark help and they accept that you cannot use x4650 with an ipad

Yes this printer works with PC's and Macs, I have both and both are set up on the wireless network there is no problem, the only thing is that you have to scan from the printer itself instead of from the computer, but set up is very EZ, I like it a lot

I set this up last night and it prints fine wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. The trick was to download the software directly from Lexmark--the software on the included CD didn't work with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). On the Lexmark site they have software for Snow Leopard that fixed printing. Scanning doesn't work (software crashes) but at least I can print now!

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

I just got mine and followed instruction my fiance found online to install it. Here is the link: http://help.shipstation.com/customer/portal/articles/1092200-how-do-i-set-up-a-zebra-thermal-printer-on-my-mac- It depends on what you would use this thermal printer for and what applications you would use this with. For other purposes, I tested it, and it works. However, a few other applications that are not designed for Mac or not integrated with Mac, then, you would not be able to use this thermal printer properly without going through quite some hoops. For instance, if you are using this with Seller Central (which is a platform for 3p-sellers on Amazon) you would not be able to use this printer for printing item labels from Seller Central, or from Scan-and-ship.

Yes, I have it connected to a Mac and it works. A problem I've had with my particular machine is that the printing comes out too light. Not a problem for text, but when I print out greyscale from Google maps the streets are nearly invisible. I called support at Brother about this, and they said that print darkness can be adjusted from a software control panel that works under Windows but not Mac. So, there is no way to control print characteristics on the Mac, you have to accept the factory defaults.

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.

I bought my printer used from an online auction about six years ago. I have used it via USB connection, and currently have it wired to the U-Verse WI-FI server/hub/modem/whatever. Mine work(ed)s great with WIN XP, WIN Vista, WIN 7, WIN 8 and now WIN 8.1 OS. My son is printing from the household network using his current Apple OS release from both iPAD and a MacBook, but I don't know the release nickname.

I haven't tried it myself, but I'm a big mac user and I have used this printer before on windows computers. The printer itself is USB if I remember right. If you have a USB port on your router, hook it up to that and the printer will pull an IP directly from the router itself (you may have to sign into the router to get it). If you don't have a USB port on your router, you'll need a seperate box like an HP JetDirect to give it an IP then you can connect to it wirelessly. On a mac, you'll need to go into system preferences&gt;print &scan, then hit the plus sign to add. Hope that helps!

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!

Works with Mac Lion just fine. In the advanced printer settings you get the option of two sided printing with different 'binding' options. Also shows as an option from iOS5 iDevices.

Wireless connection has not been successful for me. I have mine on an ethernet connection, and that is working out. I do have to connect via USB to configure the printer, however. The setup is kind of kludgy, but it works. It does require an intel-based mac to have full functionality, but will work with older models using a generic postscript driver.

Sorry, my friend--I have a Mac. I'm totally Windows illiterate, but I read (what seemed like) thousands of reviews of the printer before I bought it, so it seems like somebody out there must know the answer. Go to the item itself and start browsing through all those reviewers; maybe you'll get lucky. Or maybe ask the Epson folks if that will work. Good luck to you!

All I know is that the printer is fully compatible with Mac Snow Leopard. A quick call to their help line would answer any questions.

I'm using this printer on an iMac with that version of OS. No problems at all. Works great.

I am glade that it works on Mac now. I am thinking about buying one for my small office all-mac environment.You mentioned that the scanner only works with usb. Have you tried network to scan?Another thing I keep wondering, in general, that all the all-in-one should have an option to receive fax as a digital document instead of printing it out. If you find it, please do let me know.

I am not familiar with that printer but I just skimmed over an operating manual for it and it was all about Mac's & complicated but it did mention connecting with USB cables so yes these should work but you mention a new computer which probably means a new operating system, Win 7 or win 8. You should check with HP to see if they have drivers for your operating system before you drive yourself bonkers. That printer is at least 13 or 14 years old and they may no longer support it. John H. Spoke too soon. HP supports that printer through current Windows OS'S. You can also download operating manualfor printer and these cables are the correct ones as long as you stay shorter than 5 meters. good luck.

ya but be sure ur printer is Mac compatible. old printers mostly aren't. I had a laser colored hp printer that wouldn't work on a Mac system

yes, i have a mac, although, like many printers, you may have to download the printer software from the company instead of using the disc.

Having used a PC with the printer and now having recently purchased a Mac, I find that the response and quality have not diminished even a little bit. I have connected the printer to my Mac wirelessly and I cannot detect any faults.
