I have a MacBook Pro and for whatever reason my printer (Epson Stylus CX 6000) does not seem compatible. I just need a new printer at this point that is compatible with my mac. Preferably wireless, but can live without. I am leaning towards the Epson WorkForce 630 Wireless or the Lexmark Interact S605 Wireless but I'm really looking for advice. Any opinions about a good, compatible, color printer? Thanks in advance!
 
Yeah, I'd probably go with HP. Their Photosmart series is pretty good. Also, those printers are AirPrint compatible as well. You can get a really good one for $150.
 
I personally like the Canon printers best. The print quality is great and they don't drink ink as much it seems.
 
Make sure it has native mac drivers. I have a canon, that I got free* with my mac, and even though I got it at an Apple store, it's not compatible unless I install drivers. Even Windows isn't that bad!
 
Mine currently works great with both an HP Photosmart B210 and and Epson Stylus SX510W.
HP`s software is better than Epsons though, even comes with a dashboard widget for monitoring ink levels.
The Epson is cheaper to run tho.
 
im currently running an epson R265 with no issues at all...

but a big plus for Canon = there a nice printer and inks can be refilled no issues..

i refill as one part of my 1000000 lined job description - and we do canon, hp, dell, lexmark and one thing i will say is:

If a canon says its empty then it is!!!

when my epson dies i'll be getting a canon...
 
I have an Epson CX5900 (which i guess is almost exactly like the CX6000) and have no problems using it with my MBP.
