Most of the time color was printed, I could care less. I ran actual tests to see how much I was spending per page and it turned out to be about 25 cents per page! Crazy! This exercise made me realize how little I was using the color features of my ink jet printer. I was getting eaten alive on ink costs for my fancy Canon. Amex provides the ""double warrantee"" for all of your purchases. Finally, buy your printer with an American Express credit card and you will authomatically double your warrantee to 2 years. And, only buy the genuine brother cartridges since I have read about many problems with the no-name brands-which may also void your 1-year warrantee with Brother. SAVE MONEY: Buy your toner on Amazon, or price match the Amazon price at Staples, Office Depot, etc. Love my Brother printer and will never go back to HP. This was the final straw for me when I switched from HP to Brother. Finally, HP printers now force you to replace your ""color"" cartridges when they are used up or dry out (even if you only print in black ink) otherwise, your HP printer won't work-even if you leave the empty color cartridges in the printer. HP printers will usually cost you anywhere from 4 to 10 cents per page to print, after you factor in maintenance costs-which HP usually ""forgets"" to tell you. These Brother laser printers do NOT waste toner for such tasks, and do NOT dry out. HP printers also use a lot of ink for "" maintenance"" tasks, like cleaning the print heads. Also, the toner doesn't dry up (like HP ink printers). The drum unit adds 1/2 cent per page for costs, and must be replaced after 30,000 pages have been printed. The Brother 8710 model uses the TN 750 high-capacity toner cartridge (like the 8810 & 8910), bringing your cost down to 1.5¢ per page (including the cost of the drum unit)-and prints 8000 pages.
The high capacity cartridge for the Brother 7860 model (TN 450) will cost you 2 to 3 cents per page to print-and prints 2600 pages. The toner (for laser printers) is a lot cheaper than ink in the long run, even though you have to pay a higher up-front price for the toner cartridges.Also, for your chosen printer, make sure to check the box for "Share this printer on the network" on the Print & Scan page.įor Windows users feeling left out, there's FingerPrint, and you can print from your iPad using Google Docs. On the next window, make sure Printer Sharing is checked. Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan and click the Sharing Preferences button. If you don't see you printer listed, make sure Printer Sharing is turned on. I was able to print to my old USB-only Canon MP500 printer from my iPad 2's Mail app, Photos app, Web pages in Safari, and iWork apps Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
#Cnet handyprint mac
Unless you have a Mac Mini and always leave it running, one drawback is that your Mac needs to be running and connected to your printer in order to print from and iDevice using Printopia.
#Cnet handyprint Activator
Unlike Printopia, however, it does not feature virtual printing to your Mac.Īs long as everything is connected to the same network, AirPrint Activator should find your printer automatically, whether a printer is connected via USB to your Mac or via a wired or wireless connection to your Wi-Fi router. You just need to be running iOS 4.2 or later.
#Cnet handyprint install
And like Printopia, it does not require you to install an iOS app. It looks very similar to Printopia, with an on/off switch on the left and a pane on the right showing the available printers.
#Cnet handyprint free
AirPrint Activator is a free download, although the developer politely asks for a small donation, making it a much more inexpensive option than the $20 Printopia.
