I have a 10 year old Brother laser printer with a scanner/copy function, 2 1500 page toners cost me like £25 and last for years. Most get way more than the 1500 page estimate too.
I barely use it but it's certainly handy to have when printing stuff like travel insurance documents and return labels for sending stuff back.
If anyone is looking for a basic printer I recommend the cheap Brother lasers, the 3rd party toners are crazy cheap.
