Fax Suggestion

Jan 15, 2011 12:32PM PST

What would be the best multifunction printer/fax to buy for my iMAC? I want to be able to fax from the actual iMAC using the print command. can't seem to find much out there and have checked the Apple store for ideas. Any suggestions?

I have to point out that there are a multitude of Multifunction printers out there that all work with the Mac.

Canon, Epson, HP, Lexmark are just 4 of the usual suspects.

Whether they have software, for the Mac, that will allow you to fax directly from the Mac is another story.

Thanks, I know these brands will work with my operating system. I am Old School. Just trying to find one that will let me fax from my iMAC. I do not want to use an online fax company, either.

I know that current HP multifunction printers will allow you to fax from your desktop.
