In a short answer no. Epson worked very well but that way back, 20 years
ago.
For high quality output, Brother is hard to beat, and has drivers for
linux that Just Work. I have 2 Brothers, an HLL2320 laser for fast
duplex output in B&W, about 20 pages a minute, and a now several years
old MFC-J6920DW, an ink-jet that can handle up to tabloid paper in its
printer and in its scanner, and the scanner can do duplex with letter or
A4 material as it has an ADF feeder. This printer is both huge and gives
very high quality photo outputs with every option it has being usable
with the Debian bullseye I'm running here.
Accessible from USB or from a cat5 connection you can set for your own
home network. Their installer is a script you can run, telling it what
printer you have, it then goes to their site, downloads the proper
driver and installs it in the cups menu's. The USB connection is faster
though.
Brother's ink-jet's will use a wee bit more ink than some because if
powered up full time, will do a quiet nozzle clean at least daily, and
my MFC-J6920-DW has never had a clogged nozzle in 7 or 8 years now.
Something I can't say for my own history with several Epson's years ago.
Aftermarket, lower priced ink has been 100% usable but their inks give
truer color. An ink-jet that Just Works has been a breath of fresh air
here for quite a while now.
An no, I don't work for or own any Brother stock. I'm just a 21 year
retired television station chief engineer. I think that makes me an old
coot. Take care and stay well Sophie
