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
