How cheap are you insisting on? Single function networked color laser printers are in the mid $200’s, new.

If you add a page fed scanner, you’re looking at $400-500.

Surely, you’ll waste $100’s on dried out inkjet ink and buying a new inkjet printer / scanner combo every 2-5 years.

Cheap laser printers, like cheap inkjets, use the cheap razor/expensive blades model, too (and leverage the popular understanding of the semi-knowledgeable that that is an inkjet but not laser issue to get away with it.)
