If you've got an old HP LaserJet (P1102, P1005/6/7/8, P1505, or the M1005 MFP)

you've probably noticed Apple ships no driver anymore, and CUPS can't drive them

either. On a modern Mac they just stop working.

I built an open-source stack that brings them back with no CUPS involved: it

pushes firmware over USB, rasterises with Ghostscript, and sends the bytes

straight to the printer. You print from the normal Cmd+P dialog.

The new release adds an optional CUPS backend purely so the printer shows up in

System Settings and can be AirPrint-shared - so now I can print to it from my

iPhone. There's also a menu-bar app (job progress, cancel/reprint, toner badge),

one-line Homebrew install, and a "doctor" command that self-tests your setup

and tells you what's wrong.

caveats:

- I only own one of these printers (P1102), so most models are untested and I'm

looking for people to try theirs and report back.

- Two models are only tested: P1102 and M1005 MFP

- Scanner support for the M1005 MFP is started but not working yet - I need a

USB capture from someone who owns one to figure out the scan protocol.

Also this was heavily vibe-coded, because I did the

reverse-engineering and design, claude wrote a lot of the code, and I hand-checked

the security-sensitive parts.

Happy to answer anything.

Hello Friends, I'm trying to decide between the Canon G3430 and the Epson L3250 for home use, and I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have used either one.

My main use is:

• Printing documents (both color and not) regularly (twice on week)

What I'm most concerned about is:

• Reliable printer with less problems in long term use
• Print quality
• Ink consumption and running costs
• Ease of maintenance (especially print head clogging)
• Wi-Fi and App experience (such i don't have wifi connexion in house, i use just 4G connexion)

If you've owned one of these printers, what has your experience been like? Would you buy it again, or would you choose the other one?

Thanks dears in advance for your recommendations!

I heard that lasers last for 5 years and inkjet for 3. How old are your printers, which model and do they still work properly?

I just now tried to print something from my printer and it started to make this loud thumping noise and shakes pretty hard as well. When there is printer paper in the slot it refuses to take it and just makes a loud noise. It’s not a paper jam and I don’t see any object inside either. I’ve tried to gently shake it to see if maybe there something small in there and I don’t hear any noise either. If anyone has any idea what it could be and if I am able to fix it myself please let me know.

The printer I have is the Epson Eco Tank ET- 2803

Wife needs a printer and this hp printer is driving me insane. Whats the most cost effective colored printer? Ive tried looking through the excel but just a little lost. I was thinking some sort of brother laser printer.

Dont mind paying for a decent one if it will be worth it in the long run.

I finally saw sense after 20+ years of using HP printers and bought a Brother MFC-J5340 inkjet device at the end of last year. So far it has been great and, unlike the heap it replaced, it just works.

However is there a way to force the device to only use black ink when printing only black text? I've selected greyscale in the print options but notice that the colour cartridge levels continue to reduce. There is ink in them, plenty of it in fact, I just don't want to use it when I don't need to!

What kind of a paper should I use to print playing cards on a Cannon pixma mp 250. What would fit the best? And my old machine handle as well?

hello! im not a printer person, posting in here for some help. I'm a bookbinder and i'm looking to get my own printer. I'm looking for something that is inkjet only (no laser) and wide format. im trying to print on canvas paper for my binds. under $350? is this too much to ask? I've been trying to research and im becoming overwhelmed with all the options. what brands should i stay away from?

What is the issue? Its a new cartridge but wont print because it says its empty?

Need help with Brother MFC-L2805DW (Singapore version).
I accidentally changed Maintenance Mode code 74 and lost the original country code.
The printer now prints correctly, identifies as MFC-L2805DW (Model 8C5-MSJ), but the Network menu disappeared and the Wi-Fi button acts as Test Print.

Could someone with an original MFC-L2805DW (Singapore or Malaysia) please enter Maintenance Mode (Menu → Start → Up ×4 → code 74) and tell me the country code shown?
Please don't change anything—just report the displayed code.

I’ve been using it with few issues for over a year on my home network but have recently had issues with printing from my iPad. It works completely fine from my Mac or iPhone but when I try to print from my iPad I get a “the printer is offline” message. I’ve restarted my router numerous times, all my devices, etc and even restored the printer to factory settings and updated, and I can’t clear it to print. Any assistance recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Any suggestions on how to handle this issue?

Has anyone experienced the "Unable to Print 30" error?

Brand new pa lang po ang printer namin at kakalagay lang ng ink. After loading the ink, nag-ink charge naman siya, pero pagkatapos ay lumabas na ang "Unable to Print 30" error.

May naka-experience na po ba nito? Ano po ang naging solution? Maraming salamat po sa sasagot.

Im planing on getting the et2800 i am aware that it doesn’t have auto double side print that i will have to flip the page myself. Thats not an issue for me but alignment is. Currently i print 2 separate pages and glue together to guarantee proper alignment. Has anyone done the double sided print and have feedback? Or a different printer with same quality prints and price range

New printer I bought from an Amazon returns place so I can’t return it. I got it cheap and it was brand new in box. What could be causing this? I’d rather fix than buy another printer

Hi everyone,
I'm a student and im looking to buy a printer. I was looking to buy Canon PIXMA TS3750i, not sure if that would be good?

I would print around 40-50 pages a month maybe a bit more. Feel free to recommend me any other models 😄

Anyone using a Canon G1010 with a MacBook Air M4? Will a USB-C to USB-A adapter be enough to make it work, or do I need anything else? Thanks!

My printer randomly started skipping lines. I checked the ink levels and they're low but not low enough that I would get the warning. should I just get new cartridges or is it an issue with the printer itself? I tried to run a cleaning cycle but it didn't help.
