The worst printer of all came before the computer. The Datafax. It
used paper sensitive to an electric discharge (spark) and could send
signatures by wire. The paper was held to a metal drum with tensioned
springs and a stylus hovered just above the paper and an electrical
discharge jumped from the stylus to the drum through the paper. I have
a stack of them in my garage.

Unless it's a high-volume duplex printer or something really special, does
it makes sense to buy a used laser printer?
In general, no. But I needed a medium-high-volume duplex printer
that speaks AppleTalk and LPD. :-)
