Brother or Canon laser, never worry about stupid dried up ink cartridges ever again. the only thing is depending on what you're printing, I've had questionable results using knockoff color toner, so now I splurge on genuine parts just to avoid the gamble. if you print almost always B&W, then the imitation stuff might be fine.
related, Epson recently announced they are exiting the laser segment for "sustainability" reasons. in other words, they're not able to hold your nuts hostage on frequent ink replacements, so they're not interested in laser anymore. my previous multifunction before my current Canon was an Epson PrecisionCore, and it printed ok for like a month before barfing streaks onto everything even after multiple cartridge changes and endless cleaning cycles. it's one of the few pieces of equipment I've wanted to give The Office treatment to.
