Ok, can you answer this? Can I get a cheap laser printer that will work (at very little use) for 5 years?

Though I know very little about laser printers as compared to inkjets, I do know that the life of a laser printer is longer than that of inkjets. But 5 years may be pushing it for a cheap laser printer. 2.5-3 would be more accurate considering you operate it properly.

I did have an inkjet once for 5 years or so. This was back in 2000-2005 give or take.

I can't count how many printers my office has been through lately, never having made it to the first replacement cartridge.

Most printers on the market are overloaded electronics packed into a cheap plastic time bomb. If any electronic component screams "Made in China" on the marketplace, it's the printer.

Yeah but you're talking about an office where you need to print stuff a lot probably.

Except I'm not entering a contest here, just want to print the occasional page instead of taking notes by hand.

Though it may come with a slightly higher maintenance, I still suggest a BW laser printer.

Oh, and when I meant cost reduction, I mean the money a company puts into the manufacturing of its products, not you.
