FYI the usual advice of just getting a Brother laser no longer applies, because they too, have enshittified and started adding toner DRM.
The “best” no frills printers remaining are either: old Brothers or new Kyoceras (for laser); or Ink Tanks. For the Ink Tanks, ironically the ones by HP are the best, with the ones by Canon and Epson either being designed to fail, or also having DRM.
