First, I took everyone’s suggestions (and warnings), compiled a tally count, and then did a bit of extra research on CNET, Epinions, etc. Duh, right?Īnyhow, to put this together, I’ve adopted a blended approach. This was borne out by the very wide range of suggestions you all submitted-over 30 different models by most all the major companies were mentioned (although only 4 got mentioned more than once)-as well as the plain fact it’s virtually impossible to give meaningful advice on a product you’ve never used. So I did what I always do: I asked for help.Įven as I started asking for reader advice on inexpensive printers that handle standard index cards well, I had a feeling this was going to be a tough post to put together. I’ve shared this interest since, frankly, I’ve been buffaloed as well-crippled by the crappiness of my old Epson and unsure what to try next. With this growth and interest have come a lot of requests from readers for the best, cheapest, and most Mac-friendly printer for printing directly to ordinary index cards.

I would like to commission the 2550S on the donated PC #2, and subsequently use on my current PC (#4) but it would be sufficient if it worked on PC #3. Meanwhile, I have an old Windows 7 PC (#3) and I have a two-year-old but unused Canon PIXMA XL 2550S printer.

I don't really want to upgrade his PC #1 Windows 7 to Windows 10 and find that his printer does not then work anywhere. We subsequently found another page listing OS compatibilities for the MG3150 - that list did not include Windows 10.

We found one there listing Windows 10 compatibility, and tried to install it but installation did not complete (no failure message, but the dialog had said that it would vanish on completion it did not vanish).

We have recently been given another PC (#2) which has Windows 10, so I thought it best to first get a MG3150 printer driver for that PC from the Canon UK Web site.

Microsoft, others, and I keep saying he should be using Windows 10 (as I do), and he has eventually accepted that he should do so too.

A neighbour has a nice Windows 7 PC (#1), working with a Canon PIXMA MG3150 printer.
