In addition to the Brotherly love, we have multiple Samsung ML-1865W laser printers that have been consistently reliable for years with no janky printing software and I have even used the $6 or whatever bottle of loose powder to refill although the regular cartridges are more convenient.

Going laser and not HP is the most important parts.

HP purchased Samsung's printer department about 5 years ago

Samsung's printer division was acquired by HP. I had a computer drive failure and after reinstalling the Samsung (now HP) driver I had nothing but printer connection issues (printer doesn't wake up, driver says printer unavailable). Wish I had copied the original driver to a flash drive. Finally gave up and bought a Brother MFD laser. That's been working flawlessly.
