I tired of inkjet printers (and having to replace or fill the cartridges) and purchased a factory refurbhished Samsung ML-1710 (discontinued model) B&W laser printer for $75 US. Still going strong 11 years later. Fairly low volume. Less than 1000 sheets per year. And Linux drivers from Samsung, too. But looking to replace it with a duplex printing model with higher resolution for $300 or less. I'm patient. So, I can wait for a sale, but whatever I buy, it will be a Samsung model for sure. B
