Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


Here are the printers that Apple sells that are compatible: Printers & Scanners - All Accessories - Apple. To set it up, see: Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac - Apple Support.


If you'd like, we could also try to figure out why you're existing printer isn't working. To start, let us know the manufacturer and model.

I have very simple needs. B&W laser but spent an hour on the phone with Apple trying to get new printer going. Gave up on the new scanner. Some are not compatible with newest operating system 12.3.1. Returned a new scanner and got printer going but now now printer is glitchy again. I need a tried and true b&w printer, laser, that anyone with 12.3.1

is actually using. One with a scanner is preferred.
