We purchased an Evolis 'PEB3LE' card printer for this task because it was the only Mac compatible printer on the market. Fargo, a big name in card printers, used to make a Mac-compatible card printer, but no longer. Why? The reason cited by the local salesperson was that there were simply too many problems with the Mac systems.
The Evolis rep came in today to help out with installation. He had previously emailed me the Mac driver, as the install CDs only contained Windows drivers. This printer is mostly advertised as being compatible with Mac OS 10.2, but 10.3 compatibility (which I'm running) has been guaranteed.
The Evolis installer is not very good. The installer instructions (PDF format) are in English, but screenshots and terms have many French terms. You will see the term

instead of folder or directory, for instance. The screenshots in the PDF are all very blurry as well. Quite a stark contrast to the clean and professional-looking printed manual and other PDF manuals.The actual installer appears to be mostly straight-forward. Opening the 'EvolisCardPrinter.pkg' file launches the installer (no uninstall process, btw) and installs the print driver. A restart is required.
The instructions in the PDF installation guide say:
Before restarting your Mac, connect the New Pebble printer via the USB port and start it. A port called Pebble will automatically be created by the Mac OSX.
This did not happen for me. I wonder if the first time I failed to turn on the printer before a restart or missed something later, but repeated attempts at installing the driver software have not worked. Clicking on Add in Printer Setup Utility / USB menu displays 'Pebble' and 'Driver not installed'.There is also a utility that allows for firmware upgrades, sending commands to the printer and other functions. This utility can connect to the printer and identify it.

I suspect that if I were running 10.2 I would have less problems. I was able to install the software in Virtual PC and print a card using Evolis' eMedia Card Designer software, but my ultimate goal is to get the Mac OS X driver up and running so I can import picture into a FileMaker database (using InsideScan and an iSight camera), then previewing the card and printing it out with the click of a button.
