I bought a Brother B/W laser printer with a USB-A connector about a decade ago. It ran through just over a full box (2500 sheets) of A4 paper on it's preinstalled demo-toner before I needed to insert the full toner that came with it. The most work I ever had to do on it was when I tried to print on slightly-too-thick paper and it decided that it would rather make confetti instead. Spent an hour pulling out individual fibers of paper, and it never acted up again.
