I have a Brother inkjet all-in-one (print, scan, copy, fax) that I bought years ago. It still works great and the ink seems to lasts forever. I use only Brother cartridges (there are four, black plus the three primary colors) and you only need to replace one color at a time, much better than inkjets that have all the colors in one cartridge. And I actually still use the fax function a couple of times a year to send stuff to technically challenged recipients. 
It’s on Ethernet (it also has Wifi) so anyone on my house network can use it. Assuming you have a landline, you can fax either by scanning, or directly from your computer as a choice when printing.
Just bought a colour Brother laser printer. Was about £170 in UK. Setup was simple (it supports AirPrint) and quality seems good.
Previous Epsom inkjet was fine until the heads got clogged and I couldn’t get them to clean properly.

I have a workhorse Brother HL-L2350DW Series 2 Laser printer I’ve had for years. I did finally have to replace the drum but it takes any cartridge I put in it. Obviously black and white only but a good printer. When it finally no longer has replacement parts available I’ll probably get another Brother printer. It does double sided copies and seem to handle just about any paper I feed it.
For color we do have an Epson ET 2650 It is a bit fiddly. Uses ink in bottles. On glossy paper it produces amazing high quality prints. On plain cheap paper it produces good color prints for presentations and flyers. The head cleaning does waste ink but, the trick is you should print something in full color once or twice a week. The amount of ink you spend on the 2 prints is far less than even 1 cycle of head cleaning. I learned that from our print shop in town that has a huge wide format Epson inkjet printer that can do canvas up to 36 inches wide and as long as you need it. They were going through lots of ink until a kindly repair person said just use it at least once a week and twice is better and you’'ll save money.
We had a color laser for a while and the ink was far more expensive and it NEVER really got good prints so I can’t recommend them at all. Even when I was working the color laser printers were a total PITA to maintain and use.
