I will view HP printers suspiciously if I'm ever in the market again, and I won't consider Canon unless everything else is a poor fit. Both brands just make it hard for no good reason. Canon in particular makes using their printers with anything other than Windows arbitrarily difficult.

For what it’s worth, I’ve always had good results from Brother printers (both B&W and colour laser). They seem to be no-nonsense and reliable in my experience. Even their very cheap models. And no issues working with Macs.

Can't vouch for other types eg. inkjet models though, as I try to avoid those!

I had a Brother HL5xxxN (can't recall the model exactly) a while back. Worked great for years, then get replaced with a Canon "PIXMA" frustrating piece of rubbish. The lure of color, photocopying and scanning was too great, I guess.

Never forgive, never forget is my printer motto.
