Brother B&W Laser Printer
Last I checked (and on mine), they don't microchip their cartridges, just a reset gear so in many cases once you get that $3 gear, you can get 2-3X life out of each cartridge by refilling with ~$10 bulk toner, before the drum wears out or it starts leaking. Some of them have a plug you pull to refill, might need to cut or melt off a couple plastic studs then use screws to reattach a side panel. Some might need a hole melted in and a plug included with the toner is used to plug the hole. I can't recall at the moment which printers have which requirement but none are difficult.
Once that happens, I get a new OEM cartridge for their higher quality drum (aftermarket new use inferior drums that have short lifespans and typically print lighter), again refilling it 2-3X. I've tried remanufactured carts in the past and they were hit or miss quality wise, often printed lighter and a high % of them reused drums with significant bad (worn away) spots on them. At least there's consolation in that if you get a terrible reman cart, you might be able to get a full refund without returning it to the seller, then you can dump the toner into your OEM empty cart, if it isn't worn out or leaking yet.
The up front cost is higher but the cost per page is very low, toner never drying out, and mine is an AIO with a fairly decent quality scanner, nice to be able to just press a button to make a copy of something, no computer needed, and can be used as a network scanner to push scans to systems on a LAN... I like my Brother quite a bit.
Whatever you do, do not get a Lexmark Color Laser. I (or really the non-profit who needed it) paid through the teeth for horrible time to first page and wasting hundreds of dollars worth of color toner, then it failed prematurely, TWICE, using proprietary microchipped circuit boards where the microchip had no functional purpose except to tag the part so Lexmark could wipe out the aftermarket parts supplies by making it necessarily to buy new parts from them at very high prices. It was just a SOIC8 PROM chip that you can desolder from the old PCB and transplant onto a new one, but still that is a horrible way to treat customers and way more hassle than tolerable to merely keep a printer running, plus they also microchip their carts.
