My printer is a sturdy old Lexmark Optra T610.  CUPS has a driver,
which does duplex, N-up, and so forth.  Each toner cartridge is good
for over 10K pages, so I buy one about every two years, and I can
usually find one for $100, making the per page cost very low.

I bought a USB to parallel adapter cable for about $10 which works
well, drives the printer fast without swamping the PC.
