Which consumer grade printer should I buy? (feddit.nl)

Title, basically. My old torture device needs to be replaced, and while it's been mostly working OK, printers have no excuse for being as shitty as they are. So therefore I am looking for suggestions.

Specs:

Must include a flatbed scanner
prints in color
Wifi connection preferred
No PaaS or IaaS bullshit
No driver weirdness. I'm going to use it on linux.
Available "anywhere".
Ability to sit powered and connected in my HarryPotteresque "server room" under the stairs for ages, unattended, and work without hazzle when I send it the bimonthly print job.

I know the geek community likes Brother. Any particular model?

For reference, this new printer will replace my aging Canon Pixma 4250.
