Go look at eBay for an old Laserjet4 or 5. They were built to last and there

Yes. This is good advice. I use Laserjet 4 and Laserjet 5 here. I was forever
throwing out inkjet printers, so I jumped on Ebay and bought some Laserjets,
and they just run without hassle.

(HP Laserjets use PCL rather than postscript, but PCL is well documented and is
supported on GNU/Linux without any issues.)
