    I am pretty sure that any printer on the market nowadays can print over a network with a Mac OS or a Windows one. Is this what you were wondering? Hope this helped some!

    What printer are you talking about? I bet it will work the same with a Mac.

    Otherwise, does it need to be a LASER printer? Multi-function Color Laser Printers are EXPEN$IVE! I don't know any to recommend, sorry.

    There are plenty of Multi-function color printers at The Apple Store. Though you may find better prices elsewhere. And like shoelace_510 mentioned most of them, if not all, will do what you've described.

    That is going to be tough. Most laser multifunction will not work with a Mac period, much less over a network. What I would do is go look at printers and see which ones you like, maybe 3 or 4 that will fit your needs and budget. Go home and google the printer name with OS X. You will find people trying to get it to work. You could also call the manufacturers and see what they say, or even call Apple and ask them for recommendations. This is one area where being low market share really stinks.
