Brother brand's any color laser printer. There are some options but this should be end of your search. Don't go for inkjet printers until you are a trust fund baby. They cost a lot ( almost more than liquid gold - gram for gram) and dry if not used for few days. Brother brand compatible laser drums are cheap and easy to find. Source: me. Using for as long as I can remember. More on reddit.com

For some insight: This looks like a great deal on the surface. 70% off an expensive printer. But something you should know about HP model numbers. The ones with an 'e' at the end are tied into HP's print services and will refuse to work without genuine HP supplies. So no remanufactured or 3rd party cartridges. They also require online access at all times to print to enforce their cartridge DRM, so if you need to print something and your internet is out? Tough luck. Chip read fails on your brand new cartridge? Also tough luck. That being said, the replacement cartridges for this printer aren't awful in the price range, but being tied tightly into HP services makes this a buyer beware. Edit: I looked, and it doesn't appear there's an unlocked firmware available yet, either. Edit 2: They're actually much more actively shitty with this than I expected. From the listing - "3 MONTHS OF PRINTING INCLUDED – Subscribe to Instant Ink delivery service to get ink delivered directly to your door before you run out. After 3 months, monthly fee applies unless cancelled, and you save up to 50%." So, you can spend $350-400 on this printer, but if you want to print longer than 6 months, you need to pay monthly. "This printer is intended to work only with cartridges with original HP chips or circuitry and will block cartridges using non-HP chips or circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures." So rather than just warning, this printer will actively refuse to work with a third party or remanufactured cartridge. Bravo, HP. You've set the bar EVEN LOWER for printers. More on reddit.com
