What's the current state of printers on Linux? Are there any decent options?
Years ago, Brother printers seemed to be one of the few feasible options. What's the printer landscape like today? Are there any plug and play options that aren't part of some ink scam?

I recently bought a cheap Canon laser printer and it worked great over USB and CUPS. I setup wifi printing through a windows VM and now wifi printing also works in Linux over CUPS. It was way less painful than I had anticipated.
Have you documented the steps anywhere?
It was actually plug and play for me after I installed the cups driver from the Canon site for my model LBP6030W https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/imageclass-lbp6030w
