Printer for Macbook Air

ceewash

I'm looking for a printer for my macbook air. It is for home use but as I run a small business I do have one that I use for business. So just small amounts of printing, mainly black and white but would quite like colour if it's not too expensive.

Is a very good reliable printer, and will print from your MacBook Air.

Why not use your old printer with O'Print?

We have a Canon iP7250 and can print to it easily from OSX and iOS.

That's software to permit a printer connected to a Windows box to be shared out to an iOS device to print via Airprint. That helps someone who wants a printer for their OSX laptop, who doesn't mention either having a Windows machine or an iPad/iPhone, how, exactly?

It acts as an Airprint server, it allows you to print to it from and IOS/OSX device.

I haven't got an old printer, that's why I was asking about a new printer.

I've got a Samsung Xpress C460 all in one colour laser printer/scanner/copier, it cost just under £250.

I can print from my iMac, MacBook, Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, Samsung tablet and both my Windows PC and Linux.

It replaced an earlier Samsung all in one colour laser printer that I had for over 10 years, it's still going strong but isn't network enabled. Getting it connected via print sharing meant the PC it was connected to needed to be always on and it was always a bit of a faf.

The new one just works with everything.

I use a MacBook Air with an HP Envy 120e-all-in-one printer.

It provides very high quality black-and-white and also offers colour.

That looks good. Can it do Airprint?

The Canon Pixma MG series are excellent, and have AirPrint.
I have a MG6250 myself.
