I can add an anecdote that it ("it" being printer stopped functioning when I replaced the cartridge with as 3rd party I've) happened to me and support confirmed that non OEM toner was the issue when I called about it.
Swapping the drm chip from the oem starter cartridge to my 3rd party cartridge resolved the othe problem
- noname120 2y agoFor clarification, is “it” a Brother printer or another brand?
- MostlyStable 2y agoYes, two different models (both Brother). Can't remember the model numbers right now, but a simple black and white printer, and a black and white + scanner model.
- noname120 2y agoWow that sucks, I thought that Brother didn't engage in this shady practice. Guess I'll have to stick to older (discontinued) models that were released before that.
- gblargg 2y ago...until the starter cartridge's low page count reaches zero (I hope I'm wrong).
- MostlyStable 2y agoHasn't happened to me yet, but there are apparently ways if resetting the counter.
- varispeed 2y agoI tried that with mine, swapped chips from original Brother toner set to the aftermarket one and it didn't work.
