There were, in the many past decades, a few printers here and there that were actually pretty decent to work with. Black-and-white HP laser printers from the late 90s through to the late 00s were actually pretty super.
And, really, past then, it’s not like printers have gotten any better. They may add more functions, but it cost you have easily learned it isn’t worth paying. So, for the basics, that area of printers between the 90s and the early 00s is your target. The trick is to get them to continue working on modern computers.
Again, this is where Linux is your friend
Ironically, because Linux was always the single target OS (family) on which these printers would “never” ever work.
i’m using my hp laserjet 1018 to this day! Absolutely timeless piece of machinery that is, even though it requires a little voodoo magic every time i plug it into my linux pc
I just bought a refurbished laser printer, easier to deal with than ink jet, highly recommend. Just sucks for pictures.
