I bought an HP LaserJet 5M (with duplexer, extra tray, and network interface) at a university surplus about 11 years ago for $35. It just works (linux, mac, windows). Haven't had issues with it except for it being heavy and a bit slow printing sometimes. The toner isn't cheap, but it lasts us a long time (we don't print a ton).
I'm not quite sure how much I'd pay for a new printer like you describe. Every once in a while I look around for a new printer which can handle larger paper sizes (12x18 and A3), but I haven't found one which looks like it will do what I want (low volume laser printer for larger paper sizes with linux, mac, windows support) and still doesn't cost a ton. I think it's a niche market unfortunately.
