Cross platform printer that supports tablets, macs, windows 7 and 8.1
We have a consulting company as a client that offers executive services to some of its clientele in house. What that entails is offices that are reserved for outsiders - not on the domain, wireless, and right now using one of their own printers on the domain through a desktop. the macs cannot access this, and we 'd like to upgrade a bit and get something for tablets.
i'm looking for a recommendation for a printer that works with tablets - android and ios, macs and windows 7, 8, 8.1. Wireless is available. These people bring their own devices and use the Internet and would like to print. Does anyone have a recommendation of a printer that works great with these devices? Also it would be great if it worked wirelessly consistently. The amount of printing can vary, so it should be able to handle some volume. It won't have to make booklets or anything like that - just print either legal or 81/2 X 11.

I have an HP8610 All-in-One printer. It works on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, it has a MAC driver, and it has an ePrint App for my iPhone which works fine. I suggest you look at this one and there may be others.
we have few Canon Pixma MG7150 - supports air print and have duplex unit and build in wireless
and best of all - touch screen :)

all good suggestions - I also need to cover for Android, if that changes any of these - nexus etc...
See if there is an Android App for the Printer you want. HP suggests the HP8600 family prints to your "smart phone"

Thanks all for your suggestions. I need something for a business, that discounts the Pixma and similar i think. I'll pursue Brother and be sure to look for suggested verbiage for compatibility and support.
