  • a compact printer is to be preferred
  • having integral Wi-Fi in the printer is useful
  • the printer supports the Airprint protocol
  • inexpensive to buy
  • stable, few problems
The Airprint protocol is to be preferred, particularly if you use the iPhone or iPad. This option is not necessary for a PC and Mac; they can be used with almost any Wi-Fi printer.
This HP Laserjet is not the only printer to offer the Airprint protocol.
