A simple black and white laser printer can do that. I had one for about a decade until I bought my color laser. It worked great, and only needed toner every 2-3 years. I regret getting rid of my black and white laser.

I can relate.

I probably printed more coloring pages than anything with my printer.

Serious photographers printing at home are using dye sub instead of ink jet

Which also means you're printing frequently enough to be worth the maintenance hassles. Less frequently, you're better off sending out to a service (says guy who still has a pile of wet darkroom stuff).

That's the beauty of dye sub, the maintenance is pretty simple. You can buy a brand new roll, print only 2 images, and then leave the thing sitting there for a year and the next print will come out the same.

This is from experience designing/operating photo booth kiosks based on dye sub printers.
