yeah, I have a cheap brother laser printer, I don't print that much, but it's been solid for several years. I did have an HP, but it was incredibly problematic, would jam rather easily. Works fine under linux as well.

Does the ink ever dry? That’s my biggest problem with non-lasers - I print maybe 10-100 pages a year but every time I need to change the toner because it’s too dry. And do you print color or no?
No doesn’t dry up. It’s why I change from inkjet. And yes they print colour too.

They are fine for documents but if you want details photo printing then inkjet I think has an edge, but for most people laser is better choice.

I feel like for photos you are better off getting them done via a print service anyways, they are pretty cheap and have much better hardware
