I recommend looking at Hewlett-Packard printers, toward the middle or
high end of your desired price range. I have used them for quite a few
years, from the 1020 and P1505 to the M477 multifunction printer.

Using CUPS and hplip, the support is generally complete and pretty
current, and not hard to set up, even for Windows systems on the same
network. Given that CUPS originally was an Apple product, it should be
pretty easy to use any of them with a networked Apple system as well.

For printers in the small/medium business line, warranty service also is
very good, at least if you purchase directly from HP and incur the
additional cost that goes with that.

Full disclosure: I do own Hewlett-Packard shares, although not enough
that I would likely benefit measurably from sale of a few more printers
or toner cartridges.
