best printer brand for apple mac

Is there a particular brand of printer that works well and consistently with apple macs? I have troubles with canon printer and canon scanner whenever my mac updates. My HP seems to get through the updates ok.

There is no particular printer brand that plays better than others on Mac, IMHO.


I've used Brother, Canon, Samsung, Xerox and HP myself. And in my experience the HPs have done well and are my fav. The Samsung printers have been acceptable, too.


Determine your budget, define the features that you need, research the costs, especially of replacement inks or toners and then choose a printer and buy.


I will add that if you want to avoid the hassles and headaches of finding, installing and updating printer drivers, buy a printer that supports AirPrint. Print wirelessly from your Mac to your printer - Apple Support
