Can anyone recommend a monochrome (black toner) laser printer that

Why are you buying ink every month if you are not printing much--to be
more specific, I'm asking if something is happening to your ink (or
ink cartridge)-- is it an ink jet printer and the nozzles getting
clogged, or maybe a laser printer in a high humidity environment
making the toner get too humid to work properly?
If either of those are a possiblity, I wouldn't order a new printer
until you've considered the cause of the problem...
Yes I would, buy a new printer. The just over $100 USD brother HL21XX
b&w laser printer I have is going on 6 years old, is on its third toner
cartridge, has printed 30 or so reams of paper, at 19ppm if the driving
computer can feed it that fast. And its still printing like it was
brand new.
The one disadvantage for linux purists is that you must use the free to
download and install, brother driver.
