I won't try to second guess your needs.
The OKI range of colour lasers almost behave as you would like, at least there
is no waste toner. Because of the way the toner and drum cartridges are
designed to fit together most of the toner is actually dumped into the drum
cartridge. So when you get a toner out or low message you will need to replace
the toner cartridge but there is no waste because the toner that is still in
the drum cartrdige will be used up and replenished from the new toner
cartridge. So the toner cartridge itself will actually be really empty.
The only disadvantage of this is that when the drum needs replacing you "could"
end up throwing away unused toner in the drum cartridge but OKI allow you to
continue to print (25 pages at a time I think) until the toner out is posted
(then you change both cartridges) so no wastage.
Whether the quality, which I think is very good for a laser, will suit your use
is something you will need to determine for yourself.
There may be other makes or models that will suit your needs also but I cannot
recall any at this time.
