Request Budget laser printer suggestions? Toner cost is where I keep getting stuck.

My inkjet just wanted a cartridge set that costs about as much as a cheap laser printer, and I only print around 30 pages a month, mostly school forms and shipping labels. So what it costs to run matters more to me than what it costs to buy. I assume everyone is going to say Brother and I'm fine with that, but the model numbers are a maze and I keep seeing mixed reports about third party toner.

If yours was under $200, what does a toner cartridge cost you? Curious how many pages people get out of one.
