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.

Can't select the network device as a scanner, in the settings pannel, maybe able to using the scanner software that canon includes but I do not have it installed, and would not try it as i is all working now.

BTW it now works on Mac after various driver upgrades, usb only scanning, only some of the tools on the mac can use it as a scanner, but it has improved. Did I mention that toner is more per page than most other units....

If you're pitching the "Get a PC" route, why not just go all the way back to stone and chisel?

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

Not sure about the mac issue, I use a PC. It will work with a printer if the printer is bluetooth enabled. I personally haven't seen any that are, there are a lot of wifi enabled printers, not sure about the bluetooth....

That's not a lot of info, but if you're using a Mac, I found a really helpful link for getting the best driver installed. Solved all of my little problems.http://www.macworld.com/article/2684309/the-trick-to-finding-the-right-printer-driver-for-your-mac.htmlHope this helps you.

Consult the printer's owners manual. You can also request grayscale or black only when queuing up to print. Not very familiar with Mac but that should be a start.

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.

I'm so glad I read the discussions before buying. I use a Mac and one of the big attractions of this printer was the double-sided printing. Guess it's back to shopping.

Jimmy, I also own Mac products, but have not tried printing from another room or distance. I think it would be possible if you have a strong enough signal (WiFi). Sorry I can not be more helpful.

I do not know. I have both Mac and Windows computers able to print to it. My guess you should be able to as an IP printer (Print to the IP of the print server in windows like I do for my Mac)

In general, Lexmark and Canon make USB inkjet printers that work well with both Windows and Mac. IMPORTANT: while most of their USB printers are Win+Mac compatible, a few of them are not. If possible, try to find out either by walking into a store and finding the compatibility on the box or reading comments or checking the manufacturer's webpage about the printer. For instance, this URL is for the Canon Pixma MP495. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mp495 Click on "Specifications". Roughly 2/3 down the webpage you'll find "OS Compatibility". I haven't tried HP on an Apple product and I keep finding very mixed reviews about their Mac drivers, but apparently Apple thinks they're good; I spec'd out a new iMac yesterday and the top 3 recommended printers were all Hewlett Packard. I guess it's because only HP is using AirPrint at the moment. I haven't checked Epson in a few years but my experience with them is that they make excellent Windows printers but the Mac drivers from Epson are horrible and will cause you to hate your printer. (I'm hoping they've fixed this but if they have I haven't heard about it.) Good luck!

My issue is that there are not many printers that work with OSX 10.8.4. Is this printer Airprint capable from an IOS device, and does this printer work wirelessly with OSX 10.8?

I print directly from Photoshop CC from my Mac. It was easier to print from Windows, but it is certainly doable. Just make sure you go through the print setting menus in Photoshop to set up the printer properly.

I have no problems accessing from older Mac Mini (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and from an Intel z77-based Hackintosh (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Of course it also works from all our desktop, laptop, and netbook PC's. I also access from our Android phones and tablets using the Dell Mobile Print app. Love this printer!

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Brother says the printer supports Windows®, Mac OS® & Linux. Look here:http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/model_top/colorlaserpri/hl3075cw_us_as.html?reg=us&c;=us〈=en&pr;od=hl3075cw_us_as I don't have a Mac and can't test the printer with a Mac, but it looks like it will work. Also, the printer has built in BR-Script3 which is the Brother equivalent to Postscript, so even if there is not a specific printer driver, a generic Postscript driver should work.
