Any recs for wireless printers under $100?

I have two wired printers for about 7 years now. One is an HP which I never liked and the other is a Brother MFC which I always liked but found it difficult to find cartridges for and can’t find a place to refill them. I think I’m going to order generic ones from the web since this machine faxes which I rarely need to do, but I recently had a few transactions where a fax would have come in handy. I did find, but didn't purchase, a black cartridge at Office Depot and it was almost $33.00 for this older machine.

I went to Wal-Mart and got a Canon Pixma MX 439. It was very easy to install and printed great! However when I went to send my 20 page fax it would stop at page 3…tried sending less pages and the same thing would happen.

After calling Canon support and being asked a number of questions, like the paper size, are all sheets the same thickness, etc. and trying the fax again with him on the phone, he hated to have to tell me I'd need to manually fax by scanning in the pages and then sending them. I was disappointed and returned the machine.

WalMart has a Canon MG3122 without the fax capability that I'm going to take a look at but am open to brands.

I know Kodak advertises to cost less in ink but I don't see good reviews for them.
