I think had read some where here that the new series will now print from a Mac without the Postscript requirement. Could anyone confirm this? And does anyone have the set-up instructions for network printing? An existing customer now wants to use his Mac laptop also to receive scans and I don't know to set that up either, argh. Thanks in advance for any help!

Macs have been able to print without PostScript since at least 2001, CUPS has full PCL support for example.

The limitation is the "afterthought" print drivers the MFP industry provides for Macs. Usually something cobbled together and years behind in version support.

Admittedly, Macs are only 10-12% of the market, but they are a strong majority of sales over $1k. MFP makers are really missing out, it's typically decision makers they are slighting with feeble support.

Printer makers have it figured out and generally provide full functionality.
