I sometimes feel like the only option left with HP is to buy used.

There's a great (but admittedly narrow) window in which they are a safe option; the cut-off is approximately that if it has a colour LCD, it's too new. You need to look for one that has the good old 2x16 character LCD with green backlight.

The trick is you then have to find one where toner and parts are still readily available, with some of the older models it is becoming difficult.

The CP5225dn (2012 designed, but 2017 built) I rescued from the e-waste at work is doing me nicely, and it looks like I should have no trouble getting the parts for a few years to come.
