Can this cable be used with a MacBook Pro. I miss my old HP 4P laser printer. Ink jet ink is outrageously expensive.

You probably will need to ask Sabrent. Their support email is support@sabrent.com. Their live support phone number is 323-266-0911. The also have a download site: http//www.sabrent.com/downloads.php for docs and drivers. Good luck.

Hello Genevieve. I used the Sabrent cable to connect my old HP1100 Laserjet to a new PC. It interfaced the old cable connect to a USB plug that connected to the new PC. I don't know about its Mac capabilities, but if the Mac has only USB ports, the Sabrent connects to USB. My laserjet cartridge lasts about 2 1/2 years. Good luck. Joe

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!

If you're Mac Pro has a thunderbolt port it will work. That is what this cable was made to do

This cable will connect a MacBook Pro (with Thunderbolt connectors) to a monitor with a DP++ (DisplayPort) connector. I use it on my MacBook Pro Retina 13" to an HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor.

Yes, works great with the cord for the MacBook Pro. It is pretty fragile like the one you get from Apple, but it works fine.

Hi Dorothy. The answer is yes technically, it could work for both due to same old fashion technology. This kind of cable works in my Windows PC, MacBook laptop, and HP printers. Check your connector types and go. In the worst case returns at Amazon are so easy and free.

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.

Well, the consensus of those who responded is that it works with Macs, if drivers are installed, on OS X 10.5.8 "and up". That last bit has me, though. I currently own a Canon MP600 that is totally useless (and the reason I am looking to buy another printer). Why? Because I upgraded the Mac OS (I'm at 10.8.5, 'Mountain Lion') and discovered Canon does not support that OS. So if you are a Mac user who upgrades the OS from time to time, beware! You may be buying a printer that will be obsolete to you in a relatively short time. Shame on you, Canon!

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

My son has a Mac Book Air and it works fine, so there is no reason that I can see why a Mac Book Pro would not work with this printer.

Sheri, i am not 100% sure as i used it for a HP Laserjet 1100. For the price of the cable i would give it a try. It's a lot less than buying a newer printer if you laserjet 5 is working fine. I was told by our IT guy here it would not work for my Laserjet 1100 as i was going from a PC with Windows XP to one with Windows 7 which only has USB ports. I purchased the cable and found i needed a mini parallel connector so had to buy a large parrallel to mini parallel adapter which was not expensive. Then had to go to HP to get driver to load to use my Laserjet 1100 with windows 7. If you have changed operating systems too then you might need to download a driver for it. All in all not difficult for some like me with moderate computer skills. Good Luck :)

I would think so. You might ask that question of the printer mfgr. My laser printer is over 30 years old with a seriel cable that wouldn't connect to my computer because there is no seriel port on the new computers. The printer is still good and I didn't want to get rid of it. I am using it with xp and it works just fine.

Hey what's going on. Well I just seen your review and I have Macbook Pro 15.4 and I sent this up fairly easily. Yes this will work wirelessly with your mac and PC. You have to set this up first with the USB cord first though. From your computer to the printer. I set my wifes first to set up the wireless and run the CD after that it was on the network and ready to run. I then set my Mac up to this and it found it pretty easy. Just remember it doesn't come with the cord from Amazon so that's why I had to buy that cord separately.

I don't know for sure. I have a Mac Pro also and never used USB to print from it. Give it a try and if it's good let me know also. Thanks.

Is anyone out there a Macbook Pro owner with this issue? I've bought the ink and refilled my cartridges but I can't figure out how to reset them. I would love your help if you know the answer... (I'm about to spend $29 to buy a gadget that resets the chips but who knows if that's another crazy scheme!)Thanks, Samantha B

Don't despair. I have a home wired network running only apple computers. I got the printer networked for the wired computers and a MacBook Pro. The driver you need is just the PostScript driver from the Printer site on Canon USA. If you are just using USB it is easy. Once you download the driver it will appear in the long menu of print drivers at Canon LBP6670ps. Use this one instead of generic print driver. Networking is a little tricky for Apple. I'm not an IT person but I figured it out. The printer has to generate an IP address for itself. It is shipped with the networking turned off. On the control button on the top of the printer you need to get into the networking menu and turn some things on. The e-manual gives information on turning on DHCP. Once it is set up it works very well.
