“I buy cheap Brother laser printers”
ditto ... and brother color laser printers are pretty decent if you need high volume color ...
Brother MFPs have stood up well.
On a second one after 5 or 6 years of spouse’s steady use.
We bought a new one of a similar type because of worn drums. A few months later I found a set of OEM drums, swapped in and gave it to a relative who really couldn’t afford a decent color laser printer.
That's sort of my strategy, except that it's Samsung, and it's past tense. I bought 3 cheap Samsung printers a dozen, or so years ago, and Samsung still provides up to date drivers for Win10. Toner costs about 12 bucks apiece, and lasts for several thousand pages. The only maintenance has been cleaning the paper feed roller. However, I still have 2 HP boat anchors that I kept for scanning, but they don't work for that. This is the first I have learned that was intentional. My wife has a working HP printer that I use for the few times I need scanning. I also keep 2 @indows XP PCs working for 20 year old AutoCad software that I need to use, but rarely. I just bought two even older used Samsung laser printers that work only with XP. They cost 5 bucks for both at a yard sale.
