I'm looking to get a new printer for home as my old (B&W laser) HP is mechanically fine but the drivers really don't work well with MacOS anymore. When it runs out of toner I don't expect to buy a new cartridge. I'm not doing a ton of printing (<100 pp/month) but it'd be nice to have a color laser (printer only), as I sometimes print out maps that don't work too well in greyscale.

Based on experience at work with a new HP, even those don't want to work well with MacOS, plus the color matching is atrociously bad. Not to mention stuff like disabling features if you don't have an HP account.

I realize there aren't too many alternatives when it comes to the consumer level. It seems like Brother is tolerable for the most part, though I don't know much about how well they work with a Mac. I'm also looking at Xerox, which doesn't seem too reliable but might work okay driver-wise. That's based on a previous work printer being a Xerox, so it could be different for 'home' options or newer products. Are there any other brands I should consider? Lexmark? Epson(if they even make any laser printers)?
