  • I’ve not read beyond the headline rants, but isn’t the Brother kerfuffle over third party toner? Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I couldn’t care less. Toner lasts FOREVER for the average home user. I bought this printer in 2018 and it is phenomenal: https://a.co/d/5Khc2Xn

    So far I’ve only had to replace the starter toner it came with. It’s been telling me for over a year that some colors are low and so I have $400 of toner sitting in a closet: https://a.co/d/eYtMZma

    My BIFL recommendation is for this Brother. It’s never given any sort of issue. I do let it automatically update its firmware, but that’s an option and not a requirement.

    I don’t trust cheap toner and think buying OEM is worth the cost given how long it takes to use up. It’s not like inkjet crapola that dried up.
