Canon imageCLASS MF242dw

Canon imageCLASS MF242dw is a good printer for black-and-white printing. It has high page yields and an outstanding cost-per-print for black-only text documents. It feels well-built and doesn't require a lot of maintenance to upkeep. Though it takes a little bit to warm up and print the first page, it's still very quick, and subsequent pages print out even faster. The main downside of this printer is its poor print quality, which might be a dealbreaker if you need to print professional-looking documents for work.
