PJ71 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Does anyone know if this will work with Mac OS 13.3.1? I've youtube it and googled it and it seems possible but it quite clearly stated on the box in the shop 'not compatible with Macs'? Over the years it's just been plug and play with a variety of printers....... Any input appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this video on YouTube, also spoke to a couple guys i know that when it says it's not compatible with Mac OS all it really means is that it's not plug and play and you need to download the driver ( which i find strange ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutenprint and Gimp-Print for Mac OS X (10.2 through 10.14) Seems to have not been updated, works with earlier OS releases did not work with the newer ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make an item not compatible with Mac OS makes no sense to me....i find this all very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy in the shop had made up the receipt when i noticed that statement on the box said not good for Macs so i aborted the purchase. Came home, did a bit of research and thought it'd be ok. Had i not heard from you i'd planned to go back and buy tomorrow so, nice one - you've saved me about 6K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
