I have a 14 year old Brother hl-2140 that still prints (like crap) but I am still nostalgic for since it got me through college. Always works with no fancy drivers and aftermarket toner is cheap. Part of the reason though is selection bias. I prefer the simplicity of a B&W laser printer and don't mind the "lo-fi" aesthetic.

Yeah that printer model is my favorite for home printing needs. In the rare case I want to print photos, I’d rather pay a little markup and have them printed at a local pharmacy where I won’t have to deal with the BS that consumer inkjet printers do (+ maintenance is someone else’s problem). It’s like $50 now and the toner lasts for soooo many pages it’s basically free. In other words, for the price of an inkjet cartridge that lasts maybe a year, this thing lasts forever.
