I have an HP LaserJet M207 - M212. I get aftermarket cartridges from amazon pretty cheap, no problems. InkJets smear easily. We also have a Brother laserjet printer model HL - L2350DW that works fine.
I would avoid the printer/scanner combo. I have found they do not work as well as a stand alone scanner. Current scanner is an Epson, but I'm not happy with the software. Previously I had a Canon scanner and that software had a much better user interface. Both scanners were on the lower price point and work fine. But it's worth a little more on a printer.
