I’m a big fan of the Jaden. Works from any device, easy set up, excellent print quality. Have a look on YouTube for some reviews.
Had it for around 2 years.
I’m sure others will be along with other recommendations.

I recently got a Beeprt BY243 from eBay for about £80. Cracking little printer, takes the RM labels and is pretty quick and so far reliable.

I picked up a munbyn, great printer, works with rolls or fan feed labels, but also does a variety of other fancy labels

Zebra thermal printers are by far the best bit pricey , but they just work, i have one for my business so as you can imagine it prints allot, had it 4 years not a spot of bother.

I had a zebra (still do) but I got fed up of it wasting 2 labels every day for "calibration"

I've never calibrated mine never needed to it just worked straight out of the box.
The label you can get for free from royal mail business account ordering consumables

they called it calibration, it was an ex dhl printer, just annoyed, super reliable 8yrs on but that wastage just annoyed me, free labels or not

So you bought a second hand printer dhl have hard set shipping labels set to their printers , you need the zebra calibration tool to override, but its testament to how reliable they are DHL would have used it to death themselves then it lasted a further 8yrs and counting,
The only wastage i have is when we have a power cut it then spits one label out, that i then use for something else.
Even invoices are reused hear so very little is wasted. our oldest accounts get reused when no longer needed.

I tried everything under the sun, I used to switch it off every night so that didn't help, the munbyn is great though it does little holographic sticker I can put on my products and takes up waaaaay less space, plus I can use the zebra if it goes pear shaped

Zing was cheap and works fine, not used much
Dymo - Used Daily, Good physical product, Software issues with Windows updates which is a mare, Dont buy original labels, alternatives work fine despite the manufacturers worries (15 years no issues)

I'll look up that munbyn sounds interesting
