I recommend brother laser printers to everyone. They are like Toyotas: beasts that just keep running without issues for years. The cartridges last for a long time and also do dry up (a problem I had with inkjets due to infrequent printing).
I've been happy with mine. I was doing a hobby project that involved a toner transfer onto brushed aluminum, and bought a Brother printer for like $90.
The low capacity "starter" toner cartridge lasted through a few hundred pages, including printing all our wedding invitations. We designed the artwork to look like the output of a printing press, and printed onto parchment-like paper.
I've since swapped in a third party cartridge, and figure I won't need to replace it for another 5-10 years. The print quality is a bit lower than the OEM one, but certainly gets the job done.
Miraculously, I am able to reliably print to it from Arch Linux, over wifi!
I almost feel bad for Brother, I can't imagine they made more than a few dollars off of me, if that.
