    Converting an old printer to Bluetooth

    I bought a Brother Bluetooth printer and returned it because it was awful (I mean it was really, Really, bad at wireless printing). But my old HP printer (over a decade old) still works wonderfully (I think it’s a 1006 —not wireless). I’m wondering if it’s possible to plug a USB Bluetooth...

    Canon stopped updated their drivers for catalina and beyond. I have this nice photo printer and it is not recognizable on my iMac. The latest downloadable driver from Canon is the version before Catalina. Is there a hack or workaround I can use to use this printer? Thank you.

    Install HP printer with driver, only (not HP Smart app)?

    I need to install an HP inkjet printer for a client. Is there a way to do so without the HP Smart app? I hate these utility apps that are really mostly adware. The computer is running macOS Sonoma.

    Sonoma Printer Queue folder location?

    Prior to Sonoma, the Printer Queue folders were in ~/Library/Printers. I had some Printer Queues in my dock so I could easily control my printers. In Sonoma, I can't find the folders any more. Does anyone know where they were moved to and/or if they're user-accessible so I can add them back...

    Decent home inkjet printer/scanner

    My parents need a new one, because HP make dreadful rubbish, and theirs stopped working. Any advice would be helpful. Here's a few 'must have' features they want: 1, Not HP- and I second this. Hateful company. 2, Scanner has a feed so you don't need to scan one page at a time. 3, Cartridges...

    Recommend me a color laser printer

    Hello! There really is not a better place for it, so I guess it goes here :) I need a new printer.

    Is there someday the Apple printer will come?

    Do you think Apple will design its own printer? If the engineers from Cupertino develop something new, better, and more efficient in this area, they would completely revolutionize the printer market. That would be great... What do you think?
