I have Samsung CLP-310 Color Laser Printer from 2008. It was the last one ever, which you can force-reset so it does count how many times a color cassette been used. I can refill those cassettes from half liter buckets from ebay for €10. It is just incredibly reliable.

One and only problem is that only the XP-windows Samsung printer drivers work truly well. But I have 2008 laptop for that.

I used the open source foo2zjs driver with this printer successfully for quite a while in case that's helpful.

Various Linux drivers work quite ok on text and cartoons. But the Samsung Windows XP driver has some special magic to make perfect photographs. Not even Samsung's own Linux drivers can do that.

I'm way more interested in laser than inkjet.

I casually poked around to see if I could find some old HP LaserJets. Do some teardowns, get some part numbers, maybe transplant a Raspberry Pi for the brains.
