I have a small Samsung laser, cost pennies to buy and you can refill the toner cartridges so it costs pennies to run too

for low cost of running - laser all the way
I ran a little HP laser for years, then when my wife was doing a lot of printing for her etail business she bought a little Samsung laser, which was good, and very cheap to feed. replace every other toner cartridge, i.e. refill the toner once only, any more and it was terrible.
I now have a Epson C2800N - which is not little - and costs ~£300 if you want to replace all the ink (every 1500-3000 pages)Comment

Tired of having to replace a cartridges* I got a cheap 'n' cheerful Brother laser. It just works, and they do support Macs.
* It wasn't just the cost, but the convenience as well.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I use one of these at home and it's the best A3 Colour Laser I have ever used.
I installed the max capable ram memory as well, and it handles any print job I can throw at it.
Never once jammed in over a year of use, gets used nearly every day, and does what I expect it to with no hassle at all.
I've been down the route of small home office rubbish inkjets and been on the receiving end of jams, slow printing speeds, poor colour repro, etc.
The Oki is by far the most impressive printer I've ever owned.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
