Time to get a Brother.

  Apparently they aren't all that great either... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131

    Can confirm they've started chipping toner carts now :/. I have two Brother printers, one that takes TN-450s (no chip, can be reset via button sequence) and one that takes TN-760s (chip, no button sequence reset to say the cartridge is full). Both can be set to 'continue printing' when the cartridge is 'empty', though*. * Sometimes it "forgets" this setting, unsure the conditions to trigger that, but I imagine the retention sloppiness of this setting versus all the other ones it remembers (admin password, etc) is not an accident.

    Anecdata about the same model: I have had a Brother MFC-L3750CDW for 3.5 years, and have printed over 5000 pages. Even though I always use third party toners, I haven't seen that color registration issue. Just now, I just went to the printer and let it do the 'calibration' and 'registration' steps. Then I printed a test image from the internet. None of the colours are offset.

  Ask your parents, but be ware that it will take a few years for that to pay off. Oh wait, you meant...
