Good monochrome $100 printer?

I have an HP Deskjet 1000. Many problems with it and a warranty
replacement. Finally gave up trying to use it.

Canon Pixma MG3122. Keeps giving out-of-paper when there's plenty. Running
built-in print roller maintenance seems to fix it but it's so frequent that
it's a big PITA. Don't know how long the roller maintenace will fix the
error.

Any suggestions for a _reliable_ less-than $100 monochrome printer if there
is such a thing? A bit more expensive? I use the printer infrequently - a
letter now and then or print out something I researched on the net. I have
an old LJ 3. needs pickup roller I bought installed. Worth paying to get it
done instead of a new printer maybe - it was extremely reliable for many
years?

Suggestions?

TIA.
