I have an HP LaserJet Color 400 series, and generally never use the manual feed, only the tray with US Letter size paper...  I had an HP 4000 for a long time, that I bought used at a school auction, that beast lasted me 6-7 years after it had already been in heavy use for 5...<p>I don&#x27;t print much, but I&#x27;m not sure where your problem lay.  A typical low-end B&amp;W LaserJet with a single tray is pretty damned close to what you are asking for, and they aren&#x27;t that expensive.
