For whom it is? Anyone who needs a sensible basic color laser printer.

Any printer on this list will work with your Mac, but the HP Color Laserjet Pro M254dw is perhaps the most Mac-like in its user experience. Praised for its ease of use, you’ll have it up and printing within minutes of taking it out of the box.

With built-in Apple AirPrint support, you can print wirelessly from your Mac, iPhone, or iPad without having to install drivers. The printer also supports HP ePrint, Mopria, and Wi-Fi Direct, but does not support Google Cloud Print.

While ease of use may be the main selling point, the M281fdw doesn’t disappoint when it comes to performance, with print speeds of up to 22ppm in both black and color.

The printer’s recommended monthly duty cycle of up to 2,500 prints makes it suitable for medium-high volume environments, while its first-print-out time of 10.2 seconds (for monochrome, 11.8 seconds for color).
