I bought a Brother about a year ago. I hadn’t owned a printer in about 12-15 years. In Japan, one can generally just print things at the convenience store (after uploading (app, browser, etc.) or via USB stick), but I moved to the middle of nowhere and got tired of going back and forth. I also needed to print things like business cards which the cobini printers won’t do.
I used to take out my reliable ol’ USB pendrive whenever I wanted to print something. Then right after a printing errand I found out my pendrive had gotten sick with a virus called “Marcelo” and suddenly all the document files on the family PC turned into shortcuts that lead to an encrypted folder. Never again lol

Just bought a brother laser for my job. Damn toner ran out on day 1. I printed 400 pages but still… Oh brother
Have you considered a Kindle instead?
Kindles can print now?
Nope, but you can read books on them, so you don’t need to print them out at home
Sadly my job requires signed papers from each employee to be on file for the state AG department. It’s an enormous waste.

I’ve heard good things about Brother, how’s the ink and Linux situation with those?
