a business question

I have a client who wants to buy a new laser printer to facilitate the work I'm doing for her (she has an inkjet, but I can't use an inkjet because in that particular use what I'm printing will run, which it won't with a laser printer according to my museum colleagues -- it's for artifact labels attached with removable lacquer, to be precise). She's about as clueless as I am about laser printers.

What we need is something durable and reliable that doesn't cost too much and isn't a PITN to set up and maintain.

Any recommendations from my computer-savvy FL? Pretty please?

I would recommend an office-grade printer rather than one intended for home, as those are generally tougher and stand up to a lot more.

The laser printer of my teenage years, which stood up to multiple printings of my current novel in progress, and which I was able to clear of paper jams by myself after learning the paper path, was from HP. (I dubbed it Asimov, for its immense output.)
