Samsung CLP-365W

Hi All

This printer Samsung CLP-365W is not specified on apples site as a AirPrint printer.

Acourding to specks it no diferent to the one the specify. Where I live I can get the CLP-365W now and like to get it ASAP. But I have to beable to print from my 2 iMac's via wi-fi. I cant run a USB cable.

Could someone please check if this will work.

One I like that is not specified

Apple specified this one

Perhaps the 365W is to new and it's not on their list yet.

If you need an AirPrint printer, you should buy one, and not one that isn't approved for AirPrint.

Does that answer your question? If not, I fear you'll need to contact either Apple or Samsung to get an answer... best in written form, so you can return the unit if it doesn't work... 😉

Do I ONLY need AirPrint to print from iOS devices or do I need AirPrint to print from iMac to.

My brain tells me and Mac will print on any printer if they are both on the same wi-fi. I am refering to Mac's only now. Not printinf from iPhones and iPads.

For printing from a Mac you'll need some sort of proper connection with the printer (USB/WiFi/wired Ethernet with or without router - whatever the printer supports) and a printer driver/software that works with your present OS X version (unknown to us here), and hopefully in the future for OS X updates and newer versions as well because the printer vendor cares enough for his customers...

Multiple Macs can also print to a printer that's via USB on only one Mac, thanks to printer sharing in OS X. No WiFi required for the printer.

WiFi doesn't mind what you transmit. While you're printing, you can keep surfing the web or transfer files in between Macs or whatever.

You (= you yourself, not us here) got to make sure it's ML-compatible. Read the specs, make sure drivers are on-line and up to date.

AirPrint is only required if you want to print from iOS devices direct without needing to go through a Mac one way or another.

So by sound of things this printer will atleast work from my mac to print with my wi-fi conection, that is all that is important to me.

Soory what is "ML-compatible" ?

Dear everyone with Mac installing problems! As you will see from my previous posts I have tried everything and still my intallation failed everytime. I have now re-installed the operating system Mountain Lion, backed everything up etc, and now it connects to the printer fine!

I think it may be a corrupeted file problem somewhere on the computer.

Hope this helps people!

If the CLP-365W will print via my iMac with Mointain lion and anther iMac with Mountian lion all thru the Wi-Fi, both macs use the same wi-fi to get internet access - I will be happy.
