We have a large inventory of Brother printers we use onsite at events. We use Samsung for 12+ years until they pulled out of the printer business. We chose Brother mainly because they weren't HP with their toner practices. Now looks like it may not make much of a difference.

My Samsung ML-1910 is 15+ years old and still going. USB only so it's plugged in to a box running CUPS. I used to use a Raspberry Pi for it. I don't print an awful lot, only on my second ever toner cartridge, the initial "starter" one lasted ages. Hope it lasts forever. I didn't realise Samsung pulled out.
There are zillions of cheap, chipped third-party HP toner cartridges for Pro and enterprise printers.
