I bought an Epson ET "EcoTank" I believe the model is a 2711, printer/scanner combo; It was ~£200 a year or two ago, has no display so the interface is a bit rubbish, and it was a nightmare to get working since all of mine and my wife's machines run Linux, but we got there. We print from our phones over WiFi, we print all sorts of colouring in and cards and various things for the children, it's barely 1/4 through the tanks of ink which came with it. The print quality is _ok_, not good enough to print family photos to go in a picture frame, but good enough for an invitation to a children's birthday party etc, but I had had enough of buying printer after printer where the 3-4 weeks between needing to print would dry out the cartridge and I'd be throwing away another £40 (or fighting with 3 or 4 sets of "compatibles" until one worked. This feels as close as it can be to how 3D printing is for me, where I can stick basically "anything" I want, with a 1.75mm diameter and a melting point below 300C into the "print head" and it'll just work.
