I second the laser printer for people who only print occasionally. I have a cheap Samsung ML-1710 laser printer. Bought it for under $100. Unfortunately neither Apple nor Foomatic include drivers for it any longer so it's become a doorstop. If anyone knows where to find a working driver from a reputable source I'd love to know.
Edit: Apparently splix driver works for this one.

I swear the ML-1710 model did not show up last time I checked the printer list. Maybe I just missed it.
- mpol 8y agoSamsung gives out drivers for download. A simple search found it: https://driver-samsung.com/samsung-printer-ml-1710-drivers/ https://driver-samsung.com/samsung-printer-ml-1710-drivers/ I own a ML-1660 for now 7 years and the drivers still work fine for me. Just no duplex printing, which is a shame.
- ams6110 8y agoYes but the drivers they have don't work on current MacOS. Mac OS X (Tiger) v10.4 is the latest.
- secabeen 8y agoInterestingly, this is to some degree an Apple problem. Microsoft has no problem supporting printer drivers from Windows 7 (or before) in Windows 10, or Windows XP drivers in Windows 7. It's so very Apple to regularly throw out history.
