[PLUG] New laser printer advice needed

I need a new desktop laser printer (no inkjets). Black and white is
preferred, and a duplexer and ethernet are essential, but speed is
irrelevant. For quite a few years I have been using an HP 4+ decked out
with a duplexer, as much RAM as it will hold, and genuine Adobe
Postscript, however it has developed the dreaded "13-paper jam"
syndrome. From reading a dozen web pages I'm pretty sure it's a sensor
somewhere, but figuring it out would take hours of my time. I'm ready
to say kaddish for it. (But if anyone here wants to have a go at fixing
it, it's all yours.)

There is such a massive number of small desktop printers currently on
the market that it will take hours and hours of research to figure out
which will suit my needs. But I am not partial to buying brand new
printers anyway; I would much prefer older printers that have a
reputation for years and years of reliable performance.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
