Congratulations. Welcome to enjoyable computing.
I am after a monochrome desktop MFC which is Apple Mac OSX -
10.4.8 and 10.5 :) - and Windows compatible. Linux compatibility
would be a
bonus - but not necessary at this stage. I have read some reviews
that the
Samsung and the Xerox MFC's, even though they are Mac OS X
compatible in
their specifications, require extra software to scan, eg Photoshop.
Is this
correct? Is the Mac OS X scanning not well supported?
Sorry I can't comment on Samsung or Xerox. I can tell you that most
Apple sites I've seen use Brother MFCs. Whilst not frugal with
consumables (like most MFCs), scanning is certainly supported and
works well. Linux drivers are also available for some machines. Newer
HPs are similarly supported, although I find their software on both
Windows and Mac very bloated and often unreliable.
regards,
Peter.
