We have an HP Laserjet M15w if you really want to go cheap and minimalist. Being laser it won’t dry out in between jobs but also won’t do as well with illustrations as an ink jet would. Does the job for us.

I had the exact same need a few years ago. Checked wirecutter and went with their recommendation.

They still recommend the same printer and I can’t say much bad about it. Stings to replace toners but that goes for most printers

Wife prints everything so similar need to you. I bought the cheapest bog standard hp laser I could find. It’s been running for about 15 years of daily use including endless copies of her doctoral research, book manuscripts and articles (she both writes and reviews).
You should be able to pick up a basic hp laser for about £100. Compatible inks are way cheaper than hp official inks making them incredibly cheap to run.

Echoing the other comments. I got a HP Laser 107 Wireless for about £80 and, once you're past the slightly painful setup, it's great. Really small, very quick printing and works fine after not being used for a few months (unlike all the fucking inkjet printers I went through).
It's probably a matter of finding out what's in stock but I'd be looking at a HP or Brother laser.

+n for a cheap laserjet
Brother or HP
I gave away a more expensive colour inkjet because the nozzles dry up unless you use it all the time.
Got a Brother L2350DW for about £120 a few years ago. 10mins to set up wirelessly, been perfect since. Pretty sure my Dad has the same HP Laserjet he bought 25yrs ago

Printer recommendations
I'm tired of scrolling up and down in browsers and documents as I try and figure out how the scripts I'm writing flow from one to the other. Despite the environmental impact, I much prefer having pieces of paper in front of me that I can annotate, and scrawl across.
So I'm looking to get a printer that doesn't cost the earth to run, will primarily be producing black and white text and imagery, isn't too large and I can print to wirelessly.
Any suggestions, recommendations, or ones to stay away from, gratefully received.
