No, new Brothers are fine. A while back where were a very few models that got a questionable firmware release. As I recall, they weren't common retail models. The firmware might have been a beta.
Brother got some crap for it, people circulated the IPs of their update servers (for blocking) and that was the end of it.
I regularly buy new Brothers for customers. They're fully fine.
- jpablo 3y agoI was researching a brother laser recently and there were a shitload reports of the printer crapping out with non original toner after a power outtage. Also if you were buying non original toner you had to transfer your drm chip to the new toner.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoWord for word, this reads like HP. It perfectly describes the Laserjet M402, for example. This stuff is my day job and what you describe isn't Brother-like in the least.
