The organization I work for uses HP laser printers exclusively. I bet we have 400 printers, of varying models, all from HP.
The previous org also used them.
THey always have been very reliable.
I have an HP 1102 laser printer that has traveled in my truck camper for 8+ years and I've never had a toner leak issue.
It usually goes in a plastic tote in my truck cab, then I move it to the camper when I reach my destination. It lives in the camper until I get home. I use the tote to transport it from the house to the truck camper because I use it at home too.
The HP M110WE Laser Jet is similar in size to what I have.
It's nice and compact.
Since you want scanning capabilities, you will need to connect the laptop to the printer via USB. Even for printing, USB is a more foolproof solution. It works. Always.
Costco has a nice HP MFP Color Laserjet that I'm tempted to buy.
It's $100 off when ordered online right now.
MFP = Multi Function Printer (aka printer, scanner, fax)
HP Laserjet M283cdw at Costco
NEVER, EVER use aftermarket (cheap, refilled, non OEM) toner cartridges.
They have caused many problems over the years that I've been working in the IT industry (since 2001).
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another HP printer. Toner is available every for them, including Amazon and ebay.

Is there something that I can print wirelessly directly from my laptop PC, or do I need to buy and set up some type of network equipment?
