Somebody mentioned Brother printers elsewhere.
I replaced my HP laser with a Brother laser a while back (just printing "stuff", not photos)
I replaced my black cart on the HP (2600n) with a 3rd party product, and got away with it. However, when I replaced the color carts (one ran out), which I was forced to, since it wouldn't print B&W at all otherwise, the printer detected the alien carts, and immediately refused to clean itself or something - I started getting black streaks on my black text, even though the black cart worked just fine for months the day before.
Bye bye, HP, you ain't what you used to be.
- richdougherty 10y agoHere's a tip for Brother printers. When the printer asks you to replace the toner and stops printing, you can override it with a setting. The default setting disables printing until you replace the toner. You can change the setting to keep printing until the toner really runs out. Forcing you to stop printing is naughty of Brother, but at least there's a setting so you can keep printing—if you're clever enough to find it.
