Hi, I have a Brother MFC 7340 black laser printer/scanner/fax. When I got my MacBook Air, it was true plug and play. It is a USB device, but I don't think I paid more than $150 for it. I need the flexibility of not running out of ink like on my ink jet printers. Before owning a Mac, this printer was hooked up to my Dell laptop. From time to time, I switch between the 2 operating systems with no problem. I have also set up a utility so my husband can print to it wirelessly from his laptop from across the room. I also can print from my iPhone 6 using "Printer Pro." HTH.
