Can anyone please suggest a printer, preferring garden variety brand [HP, Canon, ...] to hard wire to a MacBook Pro running Yosemite? Thanks for your time and attention either way.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x), Yosemite compat. printer
Done. Thanks anyway.
Wireless all-in-one devices are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
Avoid HP. Though Canon is also worthy of consideration I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
A wired printer recommendation for Mac Book Pro running Yosemite?
