I still have a 90s LaserJet printer, back from when they were made like tanks. The college I went to got rid of a bunch of them in the late 2000s, so I ended up pulling the toner cartridges out of the discard pile. I haven't bought toner since 2005 (?), and I have three more cartridges to go. The cartridges also include the drum, so there's no separate drum to fail / replace.
It's a parallel printer, so it's connected over the network with a JetDirect. Not sure what the story for using it on Windows / Mac would be, but cups and sane support it like a charm.
It's also been upgraded to a whopping 10MB of memory, and has a built-in scanner that sees relatively much more frequent use (weekly scanning - I print a few times a year).
Unless the printer mechanically fails, I'm set for awhile.
