I find them the most economical to run, come with the best software, and have been the most trouble-free; and of course the print quality is excellent, but then that's the case with most modern printers. Next on the list would be Brother, especially when it comes to personal laser printers. Good value for money and good Mac support. Next would be Epson, followed by HP (last on my short list because of their measly little ink tanks). Of the rest (Lexmark, etc) I have had little experience. Others may well disagree with my order of things, and many will put Epson first. That's OK. Just make sure that the box makes it clear that the printer has Mac drivers, and double check the web site of the manufacturer to get full specs and Amazon for user reviews before you buy.
