Brother has great drivers, and cheap printers, but if you need an inkjet for colour printing, make sure you get one with an ink-tank instead of a cartridge system.

Ink bottles are DRM free so you can always use third-party ink, and even the manufacturers own ink bottles are typically much, much, much cheaper per ml than cartridges, although the upfront cost of the printer can be quite a bit higher because of that.

Personally, I have an Epson ET-8550, which I mainly use for photography. Its been fairly reliable, and I’ve had no issues using it with Linux. I filled it up with ink when I bought it, and even after a little more than year of use, its still got a over a quarter of its original ink remaining. I probably spent multiple times more for stationary paper than I do in ink for it.

I’m sure it’ll be fine, but that casting choice wouldn’t have been my first pick.
