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.

      Only other printer I would try is Samsung, had one a long time ago and it just worked.

      But love my brother printers, they work on BSD automatically, never seen that before.

      I’ve been running TN-660 cartridges from LD Toner for literally a decade, they’re like $15 a cartridge and generally do a great job. Of the many I’ve ordered, maybe 3 were bad but since brother charges $60+ for a single I still come out ahead.

      Dunno what brand you went with, but maybe give them a shot. None of my brother lasers have outright rejected third party carts.
