Get a laser printer.
Brother laser printers are pretty ok. If you never update their firmware.
Honestly, Dell laser printers are best I've ever used. Very good value, replacing toner couldn't be easier, setting it up for network printing was way easier than Brother, they're far more reliable than Samsung printers (constantly had paper jams) and I can print from my Android phone natively.
Without going into something really high-end, like a Phaser, the Dell printers are very much worth a look.
How's the third party toner market for them?
For my model (H825cdw) there are third party options that are quite a bit cheaper. I get reimbursed for my toner, so I just get it from Dell.
Sadly color laser printers with a good color reproduction and a full color wheel are still selling for 5 figures. And companies are starting to shut down home laser printer lines because shipping around containers full of microplasics is becoming a PR issue.
