I've got a Samsung laser printer that was gifted to me when I started post-secondary 13 years ago. Still chugging right along. Never had a hiccup with it. Windows finds the drivers without issue on a new OS install (I have drivers backed up just in case). No colour printing, but who cares. We do the same thing as you. When we want some photos printed (usually for distribution to family), it's no major hassle to get them printed at the local office supply.

I had a Samsung laser printer that printed maybe 300 pages before the fusor died on it. The fusor replacement part was more expensive than an entire new printer. I have had the worst luck with samsung devices, everything but their ram and ssds have failed on me in an incredibly short time (appliances failing in less than 3 years) or had issues making them nearly unusable for me, such as their TV backlights are set to like 6500k or something, far too blue and hurts to look at for me.

Well considering all the HP printers I gave away sans one were working perfectly, and it worked with any OS I ever used, I'll pay the difference in terms of reliability and experience. The first one was given away because I got a Canon bubblejet for free, and that was really unreliable and expensive. I got my second HP with my money, and gave it away for a HP scanner/printer combo which again I got free with a laptop purchase. The one I broke was this combo, which was worn away in a decade. I probably used it beyond its designated life, and it was a bottom of the barrel machine. I'd have said the same thing for Samsung lasers, but they have stopped making them. I'm hoarding some spares for mine. These things are also built like tanks. They were jointly built with Xerox, so they were something. I'm not a person who replaces all IT equipment every year, and I'll accept a higher TCO if I can keep the machine for a longer time, and can buy its spares for a considerable amount of time. Also, as a person who mingled with inks and printers for a long time, I'd not buy off-brand ink for my devices. It just doesn't worth it.
