That's a lot like asking what type of car to buy. There are lots of them out there, and it all depends ...


But one suggestion I can easily make is to get a printer that supports Apple's AirPrint. They are listed on the "Printer and Scanner Software" link near the top of this article:

The reason I sent you this whole article is so you can see how to set up your printer once you buy it.

There are many reasons to favor one over another, but these days I'm partial to Brother printers.


Their OS X support is excellent, their warranty is better than most, and they offer free lifetime technical support. Repacement ink cartridges (if you want an inkjet) are inexpensive and last a long time.


Get an AirPrint capable one.


I do not advocate any current production HP printers, due to the opposite of the above criteria.


Read reviews (Amazon is a good place to start) and draw your own conclusions.
