I have a black and white Brother brand laser printer that has been great going on 5 years.

My HP inkjet multifunction printer of 9 years still works great but it always has given me issues with re-filled cartridges and it loves wasting ink when you install a new cartridge by printing a test page.
I don't know how old my HP Laserjet 4000 was when I was given it, but 13 years on it's still going strong.

I use it very infrequently, admittedly.

Same here. Switched to Brother and am never looking back.
Thought about switching to a Brother laser, possibly wireless, with automated recto-verso scanner too.
I have a non wireless brother laser printer (hooked to a raspberry pi for wireless printing). I can't say enough good things about my brother printer.

I have though about buying a scanner and a color laser and wiring up a copier through the pi (scan then print at the push of a button) --- but finding a stand alone scanner that will do 11 by 17 has been a chalenge
