Actually for the most part Apple use generic Unix based Cups printer drivers rather than manufactures own.


This can however limit some advanced functionality.


Today there are virtually no printers on the market that wont work out of the box .


All WiFi printer work because Apple are the leaders here including designing the AirPrint protocol for use with iOS devices


Choose Cannon, Epson, HP, Kyocera , Lexmark without any problems.


Only some rather older printers "that may be available used" may have cause for concern with driver issues with current OSx versions.
