They have put out good laser printers within the past several years. They probably still do. Those things are like tanks. You will replace every other piece of equipment - probably twice - before you have to do any real maintenance with one of those old laser printers. The one I have takes cheap third party toner cartridges. It’s got over 30k prints and I haven’t done anything but replace toner a couple times.

Their inkjet printers are horrible. Those things suck up so much ink that you spend more on that than you do the printer. You end up at the store looking at a $50 cartridge and a new printer right next to it for $60. Then you walk out with a new printer, in the hopes it might be better, before realizing you got fooled again about a 80 pages later.
