I also own a couple of Brother black and white laser printers. They are quite durable and cheap to operate. Way way way better than any inkjet. 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.

At least with the Brother printers I've owned (and some of which I still do), they actually shine a light through a small bit of clear plastic in the toner cartridge. Taking that cartridge out, giving it a good shake (outside, no need for adding potentially cancer-inducing toner dust in your room), and putting it back in will make the printer work again.
