I need mono laser desktop printer(s). 300-600 dpi, no for printing pictures, just fonts, big toner cartridge, no more of 10 pages per minutes, BUT it must work abot 16 hours per day. Mostly manual feeding with A5 or A4 papers.
Does today exists something like that? We tried and used "toys" like hp 10xx or Okipage 14ex, Lexmark... but this is not serious havy duty printers.

You get what you pay for. What's the true duty cycle (pages per month)? What is the expected cost per copy (all consumables)? I have used HP/Canon/QMS, IBM/Lexmark, Ricoh/Lanier (color), Minolta/QMS (color). On the HP/Canon & IBM/Lexmark I've replaced the fusers and rollers. I find the HP's the cheapest on a per copy cost. A visiting programming expert claims that he found a Kyocera to be extremely economical when used for moderately heavy production.
I think you hardest requirement may be manual feeding. Two-siding and special stock are factors that will reduce service life.

Why manual feeding? The trays are usually adjustable for other paper sizes. Just get a printer with as many trays as you need paper sizes.

A good workhorse is the old HP laserjet III. They ought to be fairly cheap. Just make sure it has new rollers.
