A while ago I used an OKI OL400ex LED printer which I found very neat
and good. Later ones were cheaper but (I forget the name of the
mechanism) used the PC power to drive the printer. I have no experience
of these.

Since losing the OKI I bought an HP LJ 6p. (I got a good deal!) Probably
more than you need but I think it's great. Now it has been superseded
you may be able to find one a bit cheaper than it was.

The particular thing I liked about both was that they were flat (so
could go under shelves/desks etc. and most things were accessible from
the front (paper tray, controls, etc.). I hate those things that hold
paper vertically at the back. Apart from the aesthetics, the paper can
get dusty and they can only go on things so killing the space above.
Typically that means on the desk so that even more space is lost to the
blessed computer.

Good luck with your search.
