Q: What color laser printer can cheaply be refilled with non-OEM toner?

For years, I bought the Costco HP inkjets which required ink priced at
about 100 times what ink 'should' cost. I even tried the Costco $20 ink
refills, but of course, HP makes refills almost impossible, on purpose,
so I simply vowed to never buy another HP ink-based printer.

I bought an HP B&W laser printer, and have happily and successfully been
buying $5 guaranteed-used-once C92 cartridges and refilling the C4092A
black toner over the years at home, for about $5 for 250 grams of toner
as shown below (after melting a circular hole in the toner cartridge):

The problem is my kid wants a color printer and the wife concurs.

I never again wish to go through the expensive ink-refill sheer hell of
the typical HP inkjet ... so the 'only' color printer for me is one which
I can easily and inexpensively refill, at home, from non-OEM sources.

Hence my question:

Q: Do you know of a color laser printer that can be as easily refilled
from non-OEM sources like the B&W laserjets can?

So far people keep talking around the actual question asked. So I will ask it again for those who did not bother to read it the first time.

The question is NOT about inks or ink refills, it specifically asks about best COLOR LASER PRINTER that can be refilled.

I have used Konica but recently have had an issue with the chips not working and the printer refusing to print even though there is plenty of toner in the machine.

I am also on the hunt for replacement that won't break the bank for toners.

I have a Brother Color MFC and I've refilled the toner with
an aftermarket kit. It's several years old though, can't tell
you about today. I'd find one that fits your requirements, then
google about refilling that specific model. Should be info and
videos, etc. I've had two Brothers now and they've worked fine
for me, but then I'm not a heavy user either.

OKIData.

Separate toner cartridges and print drums. You just replace a "tube"
of toner - and the tubes are VERY east to refill - not even a hole to
drill. Just source compatible toner.
