"Laser" printer has become synonymous with any dry process (non-inkjet printer), but not all use lasers. Some of the very popular printers use led's, such as OKI and, I believe, Brother (

I have a Brother HL-2270DW, which is quiet, fast, and cheap. It has replaced my HP 4101MFP, which sounds like a truck in the room, except for one purpose -- printing transparencies for the photographic process. The HP results are great; the Brother's results are not nearly as good as
the toner doesn't stick to the transparency very well. Several months ago, I corresponded with an individual on another forum about his toner transfer method. He had a wonderful process and even used a color "laser" printer that was actually an led-based OKI printer. Microscopically, the Bother and HP images on a transparency are different. The HP appears as individually dense, tiny dots. The Brother was more like tiny splotches of paint.
Moral of that story, there are differences and you may not really want a laser printer.
My suggestion is to go to a Best Buy or equivalent computer center that will let you test the printers. Bring a magnifying loop and look at the printed images. In Cleveland, the center I went to even let me make some test prints that I could take home and try. It may be that an inexpensive Brother or other led printer where the toner doesn't stick as well as a laser's toner sticks is the way to go.
Here's a link to that individual's (cmartinez) toner transfer process. His results are quite good:
