We have a monochrome brother laser printer and the toner is $10, and the drums are $15. Costs about $10 per year to operate.
The LaserJet 2600 had aftermarkets but they were near full price ($80 or so IIRC) and didn't last near as long as the genuine ones. I got my 4 years out of it and then tossed it. It had the "dirty page syndrome" and I got tired of the constant cleaning.
