Eh, the multifunction one I bought a year ago told me the toner was out and wouldn't print until I reset the counter using some obscure menu process. I have printed hundreds of pages since then, so they apparently are into scamming just like the rest.
- djur 5y agoThey only tried to scam you once, and there was a way to reset it? Is "scam" really the parsimonious explanation here, rather than "sensor error"?
- AussieWog93 5y agoIt's at the very least a dark pattern. There's no reason it needs to actually block the printing - it could simply pop up with a warning saying that the toner is low and attempt to print anyway. I'm not sure about Brother, but I do know that some other printer cartridges contain an electronic counter in them that will declare them as "out of ink" after printing a certain amount of pages (even if there's plenty of ink left in the cartridge).
