Seems more expensive than a regular printer, but after that its like 25 EUR for 2000 pages
So that's like 1 cent per page.... that's a lot. I can buy a bottle of toner worth 2-3 refills or around 5k pages for around 5 euro... reset gears for the toner (a Brother printer thing) are around 2-3 euro.
If you go with laser, do research on refill and the protections printers may have against refilling - a lot of Samsung, HP and Xerox laser printers have chips on the toner which count the pages and stop you from refilling (you would have to replace the chip on the toner, as the chip kills itself or can't be reset, and chips can be 5-10$ each so not worth it)
I have a Brother laser printer, and I quite like it.
Before it, I had a Samsung laser printer, and gave it to my sister when i bought the Brother model.
There's toner and there's the drum assembly as consumables.
The cheap laser printers usually come with around 500-1000 pages worth of starter toner and the retail toners typically have 2-5x the amount of starter pack.
The drum on cheap laser printers is usually rated for around 10...20k pages ... when you go over it, you may start to get thin lines or random pixels where the drum surface goes bad, or you may start to have crap on the edges of the paper.
My Brother starter toner had around 700 pages worth of toner and the retail toner was for 2000...3000 pages.
I refilled the starter toner on my Brother by just adding toner, it keeps saying low toner but continues to print... probably didn't hit the print limit.
Some starter toners can be refilled by buying a one time "refill kit" - in the case of Brother printers it's some springs and gears with teeths that are missing from the side of the toner, which are used to reset the page counter.
The retail toner either has them or has the option to install those gears and springs so those can be refilled at least a few dozen times.
The Samsung toner had no anti-refill protections, just pop a cap and pour toner ... but newer Samsung models are worse, they have a chip which counts and can't be reset... so you have to buy packs of chips from eBay and replace a chip with each refill ... or something like that.
Me and my sister probably printed around 5-7k pages on the Samsung printer, and the drum's already gone at it, it prints vertical lines and dirties the edges of the paper, so drum needs to be replaced.... I won't replace it, not worth it. It also had other problems like grabbing 2-3 pages at a time so it made printing double sided documents difficult... had to often reprint some documents because of it.
There's some slightly higher end Brother printers (let's say not the 80-100$ but the 150-200$ models) that use a very common toner that's used on multiple models which can be easily refilled... and new drum assemblies are also relatively cheap and as they're used on a lot of their models you know it's gonna be manufactured for at least a few years.
You should be aware that there's also LED based printers ... they use leds to fix the toner instead of laser on the drum ... they can be better than laser printers but may have lower dpi (due to fixed number of leds instead of laser).
There's also the printers that use wax like ink (you put solid ink blocks in the printer) and the printer melts the block to get liquid ink ... but these printers use a lot of power and you also waste a lot of ink, if you don't print daily.
Besides laser, the only printers I'd consider would be those with ink tanks you can fill by pouring ink into the tanks.
