The first issue was buying a cheap printer.

Buy brother or do your research. If it says on some page "No USB only wireless" just don't buy it ffs!

Brother is no longer allowing 3rd party ink and toner too so do your research there as well.

Or buy a printer that uses refillable ink, such as Epson Ecotank. No cartridges - no DRM.

I've had a couple of the Epson Ecotank printers crap WiFi cards, all of a sudden WiFi just stops working and no amount of resets resolves it.
