    I would avoid both Brother and HP right now. There printers need a constant connection to the internet, phone home and update the firmware regularly, and use draconian tactics to push you into costly ink subscription or to ensure you only buy branded (aka V expensive) supplies, pushing up your costs.
    £25 for toner that lasts almost a decade doesnt meet my definition of costly ink and its never even offered a subscription let alone pushed it.

    I've used Epsons for years and not had any problem (except of course, when they die unexpectedly).  The one I currently have is the XP-860 and is a three-in-one.  The standard paper drawer take A4 (unfortunately not A3) and adjustable for other paper sizes.  There is also a separate drawer for photo paper (but as people have said that is a U feed).  If you want to use higher GSM, which I occasionally do, there is a rear feed function which is a straight through not U.
