The StyleWriters were designed by Apple and manufactured by Canon, the
LaserWriters were designed by Apple and manufactured by HP using a mix
of Canon [like the 16/600] and Xerox [like the 8500] engines. All were
Apple branded.

Very true. Depends on the model though, sadly you can't buy non-Apple
LW8500 toner, because there isn't any. But with the vast majority of
LWs this is very true. Oh, and Apple LWs [at least the non-consumer
models] generally have a very, very long life. Finding them these days
isn't hard and they aren't expensive.
