I have a Brother HL-2365DW. It's a home printer, or maybe at most a home-office printer. I've had it nearly a decade with only two toner replacements. Being laser and networked solve the two biggest problems I've had with inkjet printers in the past, and those two categories are the main things I would strongly recommend to people when choosing a printer.

edit: I initially wrote "it's not a home printer" (emphasis added here for demonstrative purposes). This was the exact opposite of what I intended to say.

I need to print in colour because I do papercraft :/ any tips?

There do exist colour laser printers, although I suspect if you're interested in artistic printing their quality may not be good enough.

I couldn't tell you what brands or models are good, but I'm sure some inkjet printers do exist in a less user-hostile business model. You just might need to pay a bit more for them up-front. You'd need to ask the opinions of other people in your hobby's community for better advice I think.

Papercraft, it doesn't have to be god-like quality. But better is... well better.
