The equivalent of an old brother mono laser would be a Lada or a Toyota hilux. It may not be pretty, but it's simple and it will run forever.

We got rid of the old hl2030 in favor of a fancy color printer/scanner. Now we have neither.

Agreed entirely. I'm a big evangelist for Brother's business class black and white laser printers. I bought my hl2050 twenty years ago and I've only had to replace the toner once. It just works.
