I had, probably still have, one for the Sinclair Spectrum. Probably still got a few rolls of the silver paper too. It wasn't very good.
If you are just printing little labels then a Dymo Label Writer is a good printer, we have a couple here.
Labels are about 3-5p each we have a label writer 450 and something a bit newer but they are solid printers.
The software lets you save addresses can also append and count so print 1/10, 2/10 etc. and barcodes so quite versatile.
There is a used 450 on Amazon for 70 at the moment.

It won't print tickets however
With home schooling we have spent a fair bit on ink over the last year or so.
I bought one of these simple to do, 10 colour refills and 5 black for £26. Works as good as the new ones

If you don't need colour get a cheap laser, the ink lasts ages.
Another recommendation for a simple laser, I have a samsung ML1660 was about £70 brand new and the toner does about 1500 pages - aftermarket replacements about £10 on ebay
Epson are doing printers called ‘ecotank’ that appear to be very cheap on ink.........ordered one this morning. A bottle of ink is meant to do a few thousand pages (claim is 8,000, don’t know if true) and a bottle is £15. Benefits most if you print a fair amount.
I bought a HP Laser Jet M15w and use it for pretty much the same as what you describe.
Best £90.00 I've spent in a while. I think I have had it about 8 months and the original cartridge is still over half full.
Easy to install from the off and I can print from my computer or phone no problem.
It's wireless apart from the initial setup which has to be connected via USB to you're computer but after that no issues.
