HP used to make amazing monochrome laser printers. I can't really speak to other brands, but I maintained dozens of LaserJet 4000, 4050, and 4100 printers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet_4000_series Those things are tanks. Perform a maintenance kit on one of those, and it's good for another 150k pages no problem. The main thing that needs attention is the rubber feet that pick up the paper get dry. Some rubber rejuvenator on a q-tip goes a long way. I have a 4050 for home, and I have no reason to doubt its future longevity. :-) The firmware, though, is ancient (telnet, and a web interface that requires IE 5 IIRC). Now if there was open source firmware for these things... |
