I can remember my dad bringing home an old LaserJet (4 maybe?) in the late 90s. The thing lasted me from late middle school through college, and would maybe still work today if i hadn't tossed it after 20 years... these days I need to print something maybe one a year. That thing was a tank though, don't think I ever needed to replace the toner...maybe once. What it didn't real have were "features". It had a parallel port interface. It talked postscript. There were Windows drivers for it, but on linux I just did it old school... dvi2ps (or whatever, yeah, I did my highschool homework in LaTeX, math class at least), then cat the .ps to /dev/lp0. CUPS had a driver, but it wasn't especially reliable so I mostly didn't bother.
