My printer is an older Brother mono laser jet.
It has some good functions like duplex and and scanning, but only single page scanning.
I’ve just changed the toner for the first time after 700 pages, and it doesn’t like my remanufactured cartridge. Thanks Brother.
After some restarting and screaming at my printer it started to print, but complains the toner needs replacing every time.
I’ve ordered another toner, just in case, but who makes good quality, ADF, colour laser jet printers that don’t cost an absolute fortune to replace?
One that’s happy with a refilled toner.
Brother has pulled some shit recently…
Still beats everyone else.
That was unconfirmed but Louis Rossmann blew it up into a big thing. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy, he’ll be the first one to admit he’s not perfect, but that was not his finest work and nothing about it was convincing. Brother isn’t perfect either, but as far as printer manufacturers go, they’re pretty okay.
“Recently” being one Reddit post three years ago about needing to manually index the color nozzles on their third-party ink.
A YouTuber hyped it up as Brother turning to the dark side so that he could profit off clicks.
it was Louis Rossman and recently was within the past month; That said its currently being discussed
I don’t really like Louis Rossman much but most of his critiques of companies not treating consumers correctly are typically correct
Personally speaking though removing old firmware from site and adding a genuine cartridge check are the first steps you would take to begin limiting users.
EcoTank I like because Epson can literally NOT confirm if the ink is genuine or not (if you REALLY were determined you could even get Magenta into the Cyan tank and it would still squirt ink out… although incorrectly of course)
I used to like Rossman, but over the years it just kinda seems like he’s fallen into a negativity spiral. What used to be educational just sounds spiteful a lot of the time now.
