Can the firmware be downgraded to a version that doesn't do this? That is, assuming the older firmware images are archived somewhere.

  Yes, with https://github.com/sedrubal/brother_printer_fwupd https://github.com/sedrubal/brother_printer_fwupd it's frequently possible. (I've contributed to it. Very useful tool.)

    Is there anything useful usually in those fw updates?
    • dlenski 2y ago
      Not in my experience. No user visible changes. There might be some fixes to bugs

      Probably some dubiously useful features such as a nicer web UI (I never use it anyway), some utterly useless features like "scanning to Dropbox/GDrive", or most probably now some "AI assistant" that tells you how to switch cartridges.

    That tool appears to be getting the firmware from brother servers. They have removed the old firmware as of more than a year ago (this issue is not new)
