The first issue was buying a cheap printer.
The second issue was buying cheap HP printer.

Buy brother or do your research. If it says on some page "No USB only wireless" just don't buy it ffs!

Brother is no longer allowing 3rd party ink and toner too so do your research there as well.

Yes and no.
Allowed? Probably no 1st party vendor allows it.
Can do? Yeah sure.
Will I get warranty for violating some kind of EULA (or some other equivalent) for using 3rd Party? Probably not.

As an IT helpdesk we usually just tell them to get 1st party as the toner is not that expensive for that volume and just eat it. At least they have warranty for the 11k of printed papers.
