The Brother $100 black and white laser is quite civilized. And printers have come so far since the old days. I plug that motherfucker in and I can print to it from my phone, immediately!
The only complaint I have is that after a large number of pages the printer will insist that the toner cartridge needs to be replaced and will just stop printing, even if the printer output darkness is still acceptable. Quite annoying if you need to print urgently! Fortunately I found a youtube video with a work-around you can enter into the UI on the printer.
