I have a HP 1320N laserjet that has a direct USB and a Network
printserver that duplexes, ppostscript, Black and white, has worked
perfectly except when lightning hit the network, needed a new
network/printserver board.
It has a niece cubical form factor, no plastic trays hanging out to get
in the way or broken. Postscrip.
Cartridge world do cartridges for about $140 for 5,000 pages
It has misfed paper about 6 times in 4 years at home.
Drivers are standard in Ubuntu.
It cost ~$1,000.
There were cheapies about $350 at the time in the same shop.
I got it after seeing one at work work 24/7 with no one to look after it
using a rheem of paper per day at least. It was taken away after about 3
years, but I dont know what the problem was when the work one died, or
whether it was fixable and returned to service elsewhere.

You're quite right.
Computer Choice recently did a survey of colour printers. The one aspect
that stood out was the cost of consumables, which, in short order, could
easily exceed the initial cost of the printer.

We bought outselves a second-hand Lexmark C510 --- which does colour and
duplex, at 30ppm with postscript (it cost around $260 from eBay).
It's worth looking for something with native postScript. But also
check consumables, and how many pages you're expecting to get through.
