I too hate printers ( even more than women driving and texting ! ) but must confess that we have used a Brother B & W basic laser for many years now with no problem other than occasionally inserting a new toner cartridge as they run out. I regret that I am away from home and can't recall the model - 4 digits, something like 2400 ? USB connection.
I've thrown 3 colour printers ( ink jet ) into the garbage, 1 Canon, 1 Epson and 1 HP. and will never let one darken my doorstep again. Cheaper to take my Flash Drive to the local print shop. If Colour Laser ever becomes affordable for the little used home office needs, I might reconsider - maybe.
Best of luck !
