I'm still going with Brother. There was a recent claim that they disabled 3rd party toners but there were lots of anecdotal stories of people who had no such trouble with it.
If Brother ever truly loses the plot, my next printer will be the local FedEx store. Life's too short to fight hostile hardware.
- llm_nerd 2y agoI have a Brother multifunction colour inkjet (MFC-J995DW). I generally only printed in B&W on the very rare occasion I printed, so when a colour ran out (usually because one of my children errantly printed some giant colour thing) it was perfectly happy to keep printing black content using the giant, very full black cartridge. A recent (as in the past two years) update removed that benefit. Now it fully refuses to function in any capacity if a colour cartridge is out. It won't let me print fully-black content, and it won't even let me scan. So Brother are no longer one of the good guys.
