OP is underselling Brother. My Brother printer takes bulk ink from bottles and doesn't require stupid expensive cartridges. My Brother printer can be left off, turned on for a print job, connects to WiFi with no issues, and prints from every single device in the house from a ten year old Raspberry Pi to a brand new iPad.
My Brother printer doesn't treat me like I'm some kind of asshole. Just try an HP printer and see how it abuses you.
