I have both a Brother B&W photocopier and an HP color laser printer — and I love them both. The only reason I can tolerate them (after having-owned dozens of printers over several decades) is because they are themselves over a decade old, each. They never complain about subscription fees nor "genuine" cartridges installed. For each machine, there is a "manual override" feature which allows you to get the most toner out of each cartridge (with minimal quality sacrifice). For the color machine, Amazon toner knock-offs cost about 1/8th (no exaggeration) as OEM-genuines. As I immediately laminate most color print-outs, I am not worried about toner quality issues (i.e. flaking), but so-far have had none.
