Any secondhand laser printer should fit the bill. No pun intended

Brother has great drivers, and cheap printers, but if you need an inkjet for colour printing, make sure you get one with an ink-tank instead of a cartridge system. Ink bottles are DRM free so you can always use third-party ink, and even the manufacturers own ink bottles are typically much, much, much cheaper per ml than cartridges, although the upfront cost of the printer can be quite a bit higher because of that. Personally, I have an Epson ET-8550, which I mainly use for photography. Its been fairly reliable, and I’ve had no issues using it with Linux. I filled it up with ink when I bought it, and even after a little more than year of use, its still got a over a quarter of its original ink remaining. I probably spent multiple times more for stationary paper than I do in ink for it.

Does it absolutely have to be an A5 printer? I recon that this format is not widely used. It might be easier to get an A4 printer + a guillotine paper cutter.

I have an epson ecotank that’s been really good so far. Ink tank so you’re not bound by official ink and whatnot, plus ink is super cheap and lasts forever. Linux drivers either in the repos or downloadable from the website. We keep it off for way more than a week at a time without issues No booklet printing or automatic duplex, but for flyers you don’t need it.
