What is a good economic laser printer?

I need a good economic printer for a small business. I use mainly black and white and don't want to be replacing fusers, drums, developers, etc. The problem I have seen with some printers is the print comes out TOO light! I print from Word documents and had a new HP on a try out and the print was too light for business promotional purposes. The last laser printer I had was a lexmark 4039 (a long time ago) and the quality was always good (and dark). I bought refurbished toners and I spent only $100 a month for tons of prints. However, the older lasers heated up and weren't really meant for high usage like I will be doing (a couple thousand prints a month). As I understand it the newer ones are? Anyone had success with a particular printer for the purposes I have described? Thanks for your response!

1. 3 years ago I bought 2 Brother HL2040s for about $50 each. I bought refill toner on ebay for $6 but I also needed a part called a reset gear which is needed to refill the toner. In 3 years and thousands of pages (I do about 500 a month) all I have ever replaced is the toner.
