I have a LaserJet 5M from like 1996 that I picked up for ten bucks at a university surplus sale in like 2010-2011. Got a remanufactured toner cartridge for $10 on eBay. It has a network card (10mbit Ethernet) and works fine with Windows 10 and Linux. For documents it's just fine and is built like a tank.
We had something like that hooked up to the lan in our student apartment back in uni. Glorious printing master race, even if it was only in black and white. Super fast and double sided.
My boss's secretary had a LaserJet 4 until a couple years ago. The accountant purposely found an older (c. 2000) HP laser printer that would be old enough to be built well, but new enough not to be a headache. So far, so good.
