I've always had second hand laser printers. Letter-quality laser printers for professional use that is. The sort that's used as a department printer in office buildings everywhere. No ink jets, and for sure no multifunctional devices. Big companies usually lease these things and after about five years they'll get sold on eBay. Unlike end-consumer crap these machines are generally fast, reliable and use relatively cheap toner. The one I've got now has been for ten years without ever causing any problems. It replaced a perfectly good, old HP Laserjet 500-something parallel port printer because the last PC with a parallel port in the house broke so I got a wireless standalone printer with three paper trays and sorter for less than 100€, If you avoid any retail grade trash, even HP is acceptable.
