Or a Canon if you can't afford a Brother.

Prints even without ink, and the software looks and behaves like it's from 1996 so it's ridiculously simple. It doesn't harass you or fill your PC with bloat—the software just hangs out quietly in the background and only pops up when you need to print to inform you of ink levels—it doesn't bother you with bullshit ever.

The only modern feature it has is network connectivity, which is honestly the only modern feature I need in a printer, so that I can print from my phone without having to boot up my PC first. And that's even simpler than printing from PC because you don't even need a driver. Just hit the Print option in Android and start printing.
