Is this MFC easily compatible with Mac?...How hard is it to print envelopes; do you have to disassemble the whole machine to do so?

Yes MFC is compatible w/MAC. that is what I have and it is fine. Don't know about the envelope thing.

actually, we had trouble getting the machine to print at all. paper was constantly jamming. eventually gave up and threw it in the trash. wouldn't waste your time.

It works with a Mac just fine, but physically doesn't print on letter-size envelopes.

I don't know about the Mac. I don't have one but should be able to, I have it wireless for my I pad too. But easy to set up. I have not printed envelopes either. But it is a simple printer to use and set up.

Assuming that is the latest update, (because I have a 2 MACs in my home) then you should not have any problems. I use this machine to print from my MACs, as well as mu Air and iphone.

I never found out as I could not get it to print at all. In addition to not printing, it would not scan or fax and the software/instructions were unintelligible. After fighting with it for three days, I returned it and replaced it with a Brother MFC-7860 DW. The Brother is more expensive, but it took only seven minutes to set up (wirelessly, too!) and it works perfectly. Maybe it was me and not the Canon, but the Brother was so easy......

I'm controlling the printer with a Mac and all the software I've used is free. I'm using Cura to control the printer, and Tinkercad to design items. For me, they're adequate for my skill level. I'd consider myself an advanced beginner.

Depends on what youy mean by easy. This printer needs you to remove the regular paper from the tray, relocate the paper guide to the correct (indicated in tray) position and then place the envelopes. It's easy enough but not nearly as easy as my old HP printer from 1999 that had a dedicated slot where you could insert a single No. 10 envelope without having to mess with guides or removing paper. THAT was easy.

It didn't work for me; I have a Mac. I tried all settings. The manufacturer said it is not compatible with Amazon sales. Which is odd since they are 4X6 labels. Amazon really needs to manufacture a thermal printer that is compatible with their site and a Mac--it's a losing battle right now.

Not sure. The MSOffice programs that I ran on this machine were opened by an Apache OpenOffice suite that can you download online for free. I never bought MSOffice for Mac. But it does not look like you can simply and barely take an MSOffice for Windows and make it run on this machine. If I understood correctly your inquiry. There is an adaptation program for that.

It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work. Have not yet set up fax.One mountain at a time. It is somewhat "gelded" from the Windows features. Not all are available to the Mac user. Sure wish Canon would just come out and clearly (and up front) explain that. Buyer beware is still a caveat to to remember.Scanning one sided page at the breakneck speed of about 35 seconds per page. Slow as molasses on a winter's day. Each page was skewed. The "grabber" must not be in sync.Less and less pleased with this unit. It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work.

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.

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....

I don't know anything about Mac's. This printer works wonderfully well for my pc and my laptop. I have used the scan, copy, and print modes and am happy. Haven't had the need to fax anything, but I don't have any reason to think it won't work just fine.

I have it networked on a Airport Express network and my PC print to it using Bonjour. Initially the all the software wasn't available for MAC. You can download the HP FX software for MAC. You can also do the firmware upgrade using a mac.

Hi! Not sure if it will work on mac computer as i coupled it with windows 8. It works fine but theres no scanning mode. Only fax, copy and print.

I am having the same issues, as are others, so it is not just your printer. It works fine when the print command comes from a PC running Windows, but does not work with a Mac. This is pretty sad since I purchased it directly from an Apple retail store specifically to run on my Mac.

I'm not well versed with Macs, but I have a fairly new MacBook pro and just updated to the newest operating system. Printer works fine, no issues.

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.
