I've been considering an air capable printer. You can get one for around 85 dollars on up according to Amazon. They have some that does it all, copy scan print and fax. Print on 1 side or 2. They ranged up to 3 hundred dollars.

In my experience with printers, it is the software on the computer that is where you maker your choices. The little 3 by 5 inch touch screen on the printer is so you can copy a document with out having to go through the computer. I have never used a printer with my iPhone or iPad but I would think that there is similar controls etc. So it seems to be more about what you require your printer to do.

Subject: Purchasing air printer to use with iPhone and mac air


Hello everyone.

Feel free to write me off list as some of this information relates to the mac air.

In April I bought a mac air, which I love, and need to purchase a new printer--one that I would like to use with the iPhone and mac air. The driver for the printer that I have, hp lazar 1020, is not supported in mavericks and I was trying to use it from the US B port and it is not an air printer. Apple has confirmed that the driver is not supported as well. Here are my questions:

Can anyone recommend a printer to get which can be set up by a totally blind person and will the mac just recognize the drivers?

I have seen so many printers with touch screen menus and would like to avoid this or will the mac configure it without me having to use these menus?

Many printers also work as scanners and is it worth getting a printer only or one that serves as a scanner? I will need to purchase scanningsoftware for the mac in time.

i also want to get a printer that will work with the iPhone and mac air and one which, hopefully, will still be supported when future operating systems are released for the mac and iPhone.

Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated and my email address is [email protected]
