Does anyone have experience of using Brother's DCP 9000 series with a Mac?
I'm particularly interested in the DCP-9042CDN.
I'm thinking of buying one of these to replace my old laser printer and scanner. Both of which I've had trouble with.
I need to be able to OCR documents and scan to PDF, I can't do this with my old Epson Perfection -- no TWAIN drivers -- does work with ImageCapture, though. What experience have you had of Bother's multi-function scanners?
My Samsung 3051N printer works fine across the network, but nothing happens when choose 'two-sided' in the print options. Does Mac OS X not handle manual duplex well? I couldn't decide whether it was a Samsung issue or an Apple one. I've tried many different driver versions all print fine, but no double-sided printing.
Given my problems I'm thinking of buying a multifunction device with a hardware duplexer. That should work, right?
Any advice welcome given that this is an expensive purchase -- there doesn't seem to be much information, or choice when it comes to printers and scanners for Mac OS X.
I'm using OS X 10.6 on an Intel iMac.
TIA,
Cliffy
