These people in Bozeman can probably help. MAYBE. If they actually do the printing in-house. I looked through a few websites that probably don't do their own printing; this one is a solid maybe.
If the design is not a photo/painting, someone local with a cricut or some other crafty thing can generate decals for you, too. It all depends on how many you need, how fast you really need them. And of course $$.
These are for inkjet. How well do they work with laser?
Oops, sorry, I overlooked the "laser" specification. There are some made for laser printers but I've never used them since I use an inkjet printer. These ones have good features pointed out in the description (for what that's worth), and seem to have pretty good reviews but it's hard to tell how many reviews are legitimate.
These are vinyl sheets, so of course you would need to cut them, but they are much more durable than paper. They are not as durable as Sticker Mule or Sticker App stickers in terms of thickness or being dishwasher-safe, etc. They advise to improve them being waterproof and/or for outdoor use, to spray them with an acrylic, UV coating. I've used them, and they hold the ink well and the colors are bright, etc.

I need to print some stickers. Looking for recommendations on sticker media for a color laser printer.
These will take some abuse so I'd like something more durable than paper.
Yes, I know Stickermule. Like them a lot, but can't handle the minimums and turnaround time.

Iâve had good luck with an HP all-in-one over the years. But the printer and cartridges can be pricey if you canât find a sale price. The last one I got was a factory refurbished one I got through Staples at a deep discount, and never had a problem.
I bought an Epson ET2850 with refillable cartridges and I like it except for printing photos. I regret giving away my £30 HP because it printed great images so if that's important to you, keep looking because this one isn't it. For everything else its FAB wireless printer that money-saving and "green".

OK, I need a printer/fax/scanner, a color laser., but this time I want one with cartridges I can get reloaded , one that will reliably print until it runs out of toner instead of putting streaks on every page.
Anybody got a suggestion?

Yeah I wouldn't worry about that. It's standard stuff; I sort of think they throw out those terms to stymie people who have zero clue.
Indesign gives you an "effective DPI" value, so if your image is 20" at 72dpi and you scale it down to 25%, it will show as 288dpi. I rely on that a LOT.
I like that site. They don't weigh you down with a lot of chatter. If you don't know what bleeds and margins are, you have to dig deeper. The sites that put ALL of the arcana in the first page you visit are the ones that I don't trust.
I think someone on Instagram recommended that site - I don't remember if it was anyone I actually know. They seem to have better prices and options than other ones I looked at. They take single pages - makes me wonder if I did 2-page spreads if they would want them laid out for printing a 16-page booklet (i.e. pages 1-16. 2-15, 3-14, etc.) or if they just figure it out if you number the pages.
