I've had a Samsung ML1665 for about a decade. I've needed one new toner refill in that period and I've not had any issues dusting it off every few months when I need to print a boarding pass or form. Oem refills are about £20.
Works fine with everything I've connected to it. Very basic, black and white, but it's fast and I see no reason to get a new printer any time soon. Occasionally I wish it had a scanner, but I can get away with photos. Never felt the urge to get a colour printer which pushes the price up significantly.
It doesn't do airprint directly, but most of these things will plug into a router with a USB port for network printing.

- angry_octet 7y agoThere were brilliant until they were sold to HP. Great Linux/MacOS support. I bought one recently not knowing this, and though it works okay, there is no support, no driver updates etc.
- brokenmachine 7y agoI bought a cheapish Samsung laser printer. I literally print about two pages per month, and it stopped being able to suck the paper up within the first three months. It can still print pages individually if you push the paper into it manually by sticking your hands into it. It managed to print probably six pages before it stopped working properly. Fail.
- joshvm 7y agoThere's a lot of variety within brands. An organisation I work at has a small Canon laser printer (generally no problem with Canon) - we travel around a lot and often don't have internet connectivity. That thing is useless. It doesn't work with generic drivers and the CD is out of date. Every time we want to use a new machine we have to remember to download the drivers in advance.
