Well as usual I can not find a laser printer that will work with my Macbook. I used to have use an HP-1012, but at some point it became unfriendly with my Macbook, since then I have been on a quest to replace it.
Encouraged by reviews on Amazon claiming this works with Mac and seeing on the box the manufacturer even claims there is an install for Mac I assumed my quest was ending. Not so! I spent the entire evening getting the darn thing to work wirelessly and print a test page which it did, but when attempting to print any pdf documents I get the following error (failed opening raster file). Well, it's been 2 days of uninstalling drivers, reinstalling drivers, trying gutenprint drives, using usb instead of wireless and nothing works. No response from Brother either.
Conclusion: Apple is annoying, HP is annoying, Brother is annoying...
Anyone know of a laser printer for home use that actually does work with a Mac? Get more detail about Brother HL-2170W 23ppm Laser Printer with Wireless and Wired Network Interfaces.
