Cheap, easy printer for Apple Devices? [closed]

Question

I own 2 printers, one a Canon that is from 2007 and the ink is constantly screwing up (a known defect of that model) and the other a Dell from 2009 that OS X recognizes and says works fine, but prints gibberish always.

The only thing I EVER use a Printer for is my wife printing shipping labels off of USPS.com
Can anyone suggest a good, cheap black and white printer that will work perfectly with OS X devices? It will most likely be hooked up to a Time Capsule through USB but it doesn't have to do even that.

Answer 1

I use a Dymo labelwriter printer for labels (with Lion), works like a charm. USB connection. The software is sucky but it does work and the convenience of printing labels with it is worth the sucky software.

I have a networked HP Laserjet 1022N (not made anymore but there are modern equivalents) hooked up to our Airport Extreme (time capsule would work fine) and it's served me well for many years. If you have large jobs consider an ethernet connection rather than USB but for small everyday stuff USB is fine.

If you don't care about color the best way to go is a low end monochrome laser printer, they're inexpensive to run, never clog, are easily networked, sip power, and are reliable.

I'm a professional photographer so do my photo printing on an Epson 3880 ink jet printer but everything else gets sent to the HP. It's never let me down, not ever.
