I’m still using a laserjet 4200. Reliable, cartridge last for 10000+ pages. Quality is good, do double side, select the good paper format automatically, easy to repair and parts are easy to find. I even got 5 free cartridges from someone who was throwing them away. I have more ink than I could ever use. You can find those printer for around $100. Not sure why they are not more popular.

USB port only? No Ethernet?

Hook it to a $35 raspberry pi and install CUPS. Become an typical AirPrint enjoyer. I'm using an ancient parallel port printer hooked to my primary file server.

Looks like parallel, you can adapt that to Ethernet with an HP JetDirect 170X:

Ah cool, I had an older one, a LJ4100. I needed the external one.
