Advice on printers (hexbear.net)

I want to acquire a printer soon, mainly to print Communist propaganda (flyers, and zines principally). Would like to get something with a minimum of proprietary bullshit, that is relatively cheap to operate/ maintain and which ideally isn't just complete spyware. Not sure such things exist, but would appreciate advice

Brother has started pulling the same bullshit as the other printer companies now.

Yeah, heavy emphasis on buying a used one. I guess at least a model from ~2023 or earlier. It's difficult to escape this kind of nonsense with printers without spending a lot of money or time on hacking it
