Cheap dependable Mac laser printer?

[davidlevine]

All knowledge is contained in LJ. Can anyone recommend a cheap (by which I mean low cost per page) dependable black and white laser printer for the Mac? I have a lot of manuscripts to print and my trusty inkjet printer is slurping down the ink like beer on the day before Prohibition.

Uncle Mark recommends the HP Laserjet 1020, but from what I see online it's rather a hassle to get the Mac drivers, as it's not officially supported.

I recently replaced an HP-4L with a Brother HL-5240, and I love the new printer. It had Mac drivers on the CD in the box. Best of all, it cost about $200. It has a novel toner delivery system, whereby one replaces the toner cartridge for about $30 and only buys a drum unit (about $40) every five refills, as opposed to buying the whole unit for $70. Also, toner cartridge came with the unit, and is still going after about two months, so it's not just a 'starter' cartridge (like OfficeDepot tried to tell me).

Good luck!

Thanks for the recommendation!
