I grabbed a usb only Brother laser printer at the thrift store. I've never even changed the toner and I've printed hundreds of shipping labels with it. I've never had to mess with configuration with it. I'm more worried about the usb 'B' cable going bad than the printer itself.

Same here, I have a business grade laser printer and it's worked flawlessly on Linux and windows without any extra work to set up. And the laser toner has a much longer shelf life than ink. The downside is it's black and white and still cost more than a consumer grade color printer.
