looking for a cheap and basic but economical black and white laser printer?

I am looking for a cheap and very basic black and white laser printer. It doesn't have to be fast, but it has to print a good quality text and should be economical. The one uses cheap cartridge but can print a lot of text is preferred.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much.

I have a HP LJ 1018 and it works great. The printer linked here is the next generation of my printer - for $100 you can't really beat it. HP also has a lot of mail-in rebates floating around so you might be able to get it cheaper.
