    HELP! MP C6000 PS3 Unit, which is right one? Show 3 available

    We installed a MP C6000 yesterday and everything worked fine on pc's but the mac printed pages of garbage and blank sheets. I see there is no PS3 unit (no PS3 menu) My office looked them up and say there are multiple PS3 units available, which is the one I need? what are the various ones for? We are installed this on a domain with about 30 clients four of which are MACbooks.

    They use a PostScript 3 Unit Type C7500.
    There's only 1 listed in the product support guide i have so not sure where they're coming up with more than one different option.

      The salesman clearly did their homework on that install!

            Gutenprint Printer Drivers

            Allows PS printing to a PCL box.

            Free download, but offer as alternative to PS.

            If it works, great, contact gimp for help.

            If it sucks spend the money on a PS card.
            Why do they call it common sense?

            If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

              Does anyone know, can these PS3 cards be copied? They are just SD cards. Will they work? Anyone tried it?

                They won't copy. They have licence keys built into the root of the SD.
                It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

                Hit it.

                      Nothing like trying to cheat the system.

                      That would sure be a good way to lose your franchise, and possibly bring legal action against yourself.
