Just to follow-up on my request for printer recommendations, I would like to thank everyone who responded. I really appreciate your help.
I ended up buying a Canon Pixma TS9120 all-in-one, which supposedly lists for $200 but was on sale for $50. [Interestingly, there are 3 color choices -- the gold and the red versions were still $200, but the black version was only $50 at Amazon and my local BestBuy matched that. It's still only $70 at both Amazon and BestBuy the last time I looked.] I have not used it much yet, but it was easy to set up and seems to work fine. It can connect via ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB. It's very compact and has a simple flat top (no document feeder, which is fine with me). I don't usually care for touch pads, but it has a large 5" screen that works well. It powers off after a set period of time and powers on when a print job is submitted. I wish the paper tray held more sheets of paper (only 100), but so far that is my only complaint, and since we do not print in color very often, the small tray should not be a problem. I do not know how quickly it will go through ink, so that may end up being a negative, but otherwise I am happy with it so far. Thanks again for all the information and suggestions.

Hi, Can someone please recommend a color inkjet printer that works well with a mac? Currently all of my macs are running Sierra (10.12.6), though I plan to upgrade to High Sierra soon. I think my first priority is that it is reliable and works well with a mac. Mainly I print on good quality 8.5x11 sheets of paper, though 4x6 photo printing (from a separate tray) would be good. An ethernet connection in addition to USB and WiFi would be nice, though not mandatory. Inexpensive OEM ink refills would be great, or else one that works well with inexpensive third-party ink cartridges. All I really need is a printer, since I already have a laser printer that also scans, though if the inkjet you recommend is an all-in-one unit, that's fine (just not necessary). If it is an all-in-one, I don't care about a document feeder, though having one is OK, and a flat top would be good, so that it can easily scan portions of a long or over-sized document. In the past, I liked HP, but lately they do not seem as good as some others (at least in my limited experience). I have a really old HP C7280 all-in-one that has worked well, but now all forms of communication have failed (first ethernet, then WiFi, and now USB). I have a newer HP C410, but it has never worked well (the color printing is terrible, and I've had two of these). I have a Brother HL-2280DW laser printer that works very well and uses cheap third-party toner cartridges, but I do not know if Brother makes a good color inkjet. I have never had a Canon or Epson (or any other brand). So, if you can recommend a good color inkjet printer that works well with a mac, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks! Gregg
