I need to buy a printer; all advice/suggestions/recommendations/rants not to get your brand because it is terrible, will be gratefully received!

I've just replaced an old-ish HP multifunction one, which kept refusing to print because it had to be plugged into the desktop, which meant I had to boot the desktop, and that was such a hassle that I didn't print much so the cartridges dried out so I printed even less... I've now got a wireless Epson one, with individual colour cartridges (so if the cyan one, say, runs out, you can just replace that one. And I've been able to put it in the living-room so I can print from the laptop (and, theoretically, from the phone and [if I installed the app] from the tablet), and even by email (haven't tried that from afar ... yet). Cartridges are reasonably priced from eBay and Amazon; I have a friend with a rather larger Epson which takes similar cartridges, and she says she simply keeps an eye on two or three sellers and buys from whichever is cheapest.
