Agreed, I have a (pre-HP) Samsung laser printer and it works whenever I need it to. Sure, it only works via USB and only has one button and an on/off switch, but it works when needed.

It’s a few hundred bucks up front, but the toner cartridges print a ton of pages and don’t dry out if you don’t use them. I can’t recommend it enough if you have even a passing desire to make hard copies of documents.

That’s ideal; the less connected it is, the less chance I’ll have to shoot it

This. I have a brother color laser printer I bought years ago. Literally before COVID happened, so I’ve had it about 6 years. I replaced the black stock toner, haven’t replaced any others yet. Thing still prints like a champ even though it’ll randomly forget Wi-Fi settings… Lol

I bought an HP* color laser before Covid too. It’s starting to bitch about cyan, but holy hell I abused the shit out of it during my studies and it’s still good as new.
*I know, but their enterprise grade stuff is actually decent.
