There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!

Looks exactly like what I’m looking for but tad more than I can afford at the moment. 😣 Any models more in my budget?

There are so many out in the wild, I bet you could pick up a used Brother laser printer off FB Marketplace. As many others have said...any one will do. I also have one, they're great.

There is a refurbished on Amazon for $240 ATM. The Brother HL-L2460DW is $160 at Staples. The Brother HL-L2405W is $120, seems the cheaper does not have duplex (guessing that is the ability to print both sides of the paper). Brother DCP-L2640DW is $200, unsure what the difference between that and mine is.
