I’ve got an ancient, ex-skip LaserJet 4 If you can beg, borrow or dumpster-dive something like this I can recommend for linux use. In general, laser is higher up front cost, and toner cartridges are pricy but last years. Something that uses PCL or PS will be easiest to drive. A network connection is nice, too.
Agreed, I have a (not quite as old as a LaserJet 4) HP LaserJet 1320 which has served me well for many years. There are still lots of them in use so cartridges etc. are easy to come by. Mine has a duplexer which is handy, you need a 1320n for a network connection.
