What is the most functional Mac OS X all-in-one printer?

Is it possible to scan with a scanner/printer connected to a mac os x with windows computers?

  • I have the HP OfficeJet 6500 Scanner/Printer. This printer/scanner is connected to my iMac. I am able to scan and print with this iMac. And I am able to PRINT only over my network. I am able to print with any windows computer in my house using Bonjour. When I open Bonjour on the windows computers, it sees the printer connected to the iMac. And when I print with the windows computers, it sends the document or whatever were printing to the iMac connected to the printer/scanner. But the only thing is, I want to scan the same way. If I go to System Preferences on the iMac and go to Print & Fax and then I click my scanner/printer and the box is checked that says "Share Printer over Network" And then when i click Scan at the top, I see a button that says, Open Scanner, and another box that is checked that says, "Share Scanner over Network." Is it possible to share my scanner the same way as I share my printer? I also have this Apple Product called Time Capsule. And I haven't used the Print over network feature with that. Can i scan over the network using the TC? 10 Points for best!

  • Answer:

    If your connected through a network connection their shouldn't be a problem. You may want to have the Cd handy "if you have a installation cd" for your other computers. Also you may need to set up the sharing feature on your other computers.
