There are relatively recent refurbished Brother laser printers on NewEgg for under $200.

You can get a used older model on eBay for under $200.

And the chances that used older model will work just fine for you for years to come is high.

My Brother is between 15 and 20 years old, only on its second toner cartridge, and still working like a charm.

There are a lot of options to do color printing for cheap if you only need it very occasionally like most people. The local public library may even offer free color printing.
