Snow Leopard support Any word on how the printer does under Snow Leopard? It is listed by Apple as supported hardware but has anyone actually tired it?

I think what Mark means, the Scanner does not work wirelessly with Snow Leopard. I am sure it will work fine when connected via USB.

Hi, Can anyone confirme if (in Snow Leopard) the ImageCapture or Preview app can scan from this scanner (if USB connected) ?I wouldn't like to use brother's software...Thanks very much,Dany.

That's strange. I'm on Snow Leopard, and the MFC-7840W scanned just fine into Photoshop.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/laser_printers/imageclass_lbp6200d#DriversAndSoftwareThere are several versions of drivers for Mac OS, from the newest Mavericks all the way back to Mac OS 8?!Once you have the drivers installed (your Mac may do it for you automatically), you can print to this printer.And yes, I am answering this question from experience.

What's up Perez? To be honest with you i really don't know but if you would like to try it you could! The printer has the software disc to go with it so i want to say that it probably would but wait, hold on. I just pulled out my installation guide sheet and according to it, it is compatible to Mac. Sorry about that. I hope that I was helpful and thanks for the email. Good luck!

You must have an Apple. Hurray. I love Apples. Yes, it's compatible with Mac OS. It's truly a great printer. Of all the laser printers I've had, and the list is considerable, this one easily soars to the top of the list. Not only is it very efferent, no matter how many pages you print, at one session, they all come out as straight as an ink jet printer. If you don't already know, laser jets are notorious for curling paper. Also, the print quality, as well as color, is spectacular.

Yes! I use a 2013 Macbook pro with retina and the printer works without needing any setup software.

I don't know if this printer used to come with a disk containing printer drivers, but these days, why would you want a disk that was guaranteed to be obsolete? This is a 15-year old printer! Nothing on the printer drivers disk will be usable, let alone current.Mac OS X systems will recognize the printer and install the right driver automatically, given the printer's IP address. (Choose JetDirect for the printing protocol.)Windows users can download the right printer driver from HP.com.Skip the disk!

I bought my printer used from an online auction about six years ago. I have used it via USB connection, and currently have it wired to the U-Verse WI-FI server/hub/modem/whatever. Mine work(ed)s great with WIN XP, WIN Vista, WIN 7, WIN 8 and now WIN 8.1 OS. My son is printing from the household network using his current Apple OS release from both iPAD and a MacBook, but I don't know the release nickname.

im not a MAC user, but according to Genius there's a driver for MAC OSX, i cant confirm if its compatible whit those specific version of the MAC OS (http://www.geniusnet.com/wSite/ct?xItem=53323&ctNode;=174 ) , in my experience Genius tech support its great and the best wayto know if it works whit snow leopard is to ask them

Bought mine at Best Buy two weeks ago and it also had Snow Leopard. Updated all software and contacted apple for the free upgrade that they all are eligible for. They sent me a code a day later and was able to download off the app store in 3 hrs and another half to install. It's up and running now with Lion.A different keyboard would be nice but its a great machine, why wait?

I am in the same boat. I know the PC processor in my PowerBook G4 won't support Snow Leopard, so I am hoping to upgrade to Leopard so I can use some peripherals that require at least OS X 10.5. I checked the requirements to run Leopard on Apple's website and it seems doable with what I have. I am only hesitant because of the price tag. Has anyone installed Leopard on a PowerBook G4?

Yes - it works well. I can print from Windows (8.1) and Macintosh (Yosemite) without a problem. For Macintosh I set it up as an LPD printer.

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

Did you ever resolve this issue? I am considering buying this printer and I use only MAC computers.

I've only had my MX850 for a week - and yes the installation is confusing - especially if you plan on using it as a networked printer, but once I got it figured out it's working very well under 10.5 Leopard. Have printed from various apps (Preview.app / Adobe InDesign / etc.) without any issues. The network scan works great. So far I am pretty happy with this purchase with exception of the network setup which is very confusing (you have to hook a computer to the printer via USB before you can use it over the network! :/)

1. Printer, yes....downloaded software from Canon labelled for 1.5.8 to 1.6 something ... prints fine, shows photo of machines, and a subpar local web page status monitor - but have NOT YET got the scanner to send to the imac, though it does to a Windows machine on the network, ... installs software for Window didn't help Mac2. Am downloading scanning software from here ... NO IDEA how successful I will be! http://mac.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=124419&t;=0&i;=2

Sorry, we are not MAC users. However it has proven to be an excellent copier for the price. We use it daily in a construction company office where we replicate architectural drawings as well as standard copying. We actually use it instead of our HP LaserJet printer because it is at least twice as fast p maybe more. Now if they could produce this color-capable at a slight upcharge, we would be on the waiting list! Good machine for the money.

My Artison 730 works well with my Apple Mac OS X. I don't know anyone using this printer on Windows 8.
