Home printer for occasional use

#What would you like to accomplish?

My wife wants to at least be able to print color but she is fine getting Costco to print photos so I'll likely have to get a color laser. I've tried to convince her not to do color but she still wants it. She is a teacher and not that she prints a lot, sometimes she needs to do a page or 2. Overall we don't do anything special or need to print large amounts.

#Are there any models you are currently looking at?

Brother HL-L3230CDW, HP LaserJet Pro M281fdw, recommendations welcome

#Any other details:

I've had Canon inkjets(Canon MG6320, Canon MG7720) for a bit and tried to get the better reviewed photo ones since we printed pictures here and there. The last 2 I bought died right around the 3 year mark give or take 6 months so I think I'm done with ink. We didn't use it a ton over the last year but the last error was just a head issue error that needs a replacement head it seems.

Thanks!
