Canon, the Pixma series. Good printers, good prices, they work really well with Mac. See http://www.canon.com.au/products/all_in_one_printers/all_in_one_printers.html

I opted for the HP Photosmart 4385 all in one, which is also wireless. It was free (I believe) after the rebate when I bought my Macbook Pro, but works very well. Wireless is easy enough to set up once you figure out what the **** you're doing, too. It goes for about $90 retail. I also have a Canon Pixma printer which I was using with my Linux box but it's sitting in the closet now, until we get a bigger place.

Great thanks. I have a Dell All-in-one 924 but unfortunately it's only compatible with my PC. No drivers will support it on my mac. Thanks again!

I have a Canon MX750, prints great photos and makes really good scans, plus it has an automatic document feeder (creating multiple page PDF files is a dream) It think it was a tad over $100 when I bought it new. I believe the MX8xx series is out now.
For regular printouts in B&W though I really love my HP 1200 laser printer. Fast and I have only replaced the toner once in 4 years with a yield of a few thousand pages.
