I did find some Lexmark model, but when I check up on the replacement toner cartridges,
they're priced in the $200 range (!). Apparently Lexmark uses a lockout chip on their
toner cartridges, so you can use only OEM replacement toners.
Has anyone gotten a laser printer recently, which worked out of the box
without any fiddling, or downloading any blobs?
HP printers are supported well with the hplip package included in fedora
Google "budget laser printer" and look for HP models of interest to you.
You can also look to

to verify your chosen printer is supported.
