People often suggest Brother. I have two Brother printers and they are…tolerable. They are much better than HP, but that bar is very low. I think all printers kind-of suck. Lasers are better than inkjet for most uses, and much more affordable than they used to be.
I kind of feel like we haven’t seen a significant advancement in home printer technology in a long time (except for 3d printing, but that’s a very different animal).
I’ve had an Oki mono laser printer for so long, I gave it to my kids. It was a “cheap” printer in the scheme of things, but it was a compact duplex printer and I only ever needed a new $50 toner for it over the years.
It also didn’t come with a 650MB printer driver package with a shitty tray application or a subscription.

At least with a paper printer you don’t have to do a bunch of fiddly bed-leveling
Yup, and the cleanup is a PITA.
