[QUOTE="welshred, post: 1647467, member: 200925"] Hi, Thanks for your reply, I spoke to Oki (at length via multiple emails) and they basically said sorry we don't do drivers for the scanner for Mac. What annoys me is they do it drivers for the printer but this is a multi function product so why on earth would they support only part of the product. Even if the printer driver used is generically compatible with a number of their products surely the separate scanner driver would be the same? I just find it unacceptable that a firm will patch part of a product but not the whole thing which is basically what is going on here. It's simply not fair on the consumer. This printer cost me more than £600 when bought and although that was a number of years ago I think I have grounds to expect it to still work with newer operating systems. They tell me it will work over a network or FTP but not via USB, I cannot connect it directly to my network as our router is in the lounge and this MFP is HUGE. It has to be kept in our office, having it in our lounge would be ridiculous. Is it REALLY that difficult to produce drivers? [/QUOTE]
