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.

    I did update the firmware because it wouldn’t connect to my WiFi.

    When I checked, the toner I swapped in was from 2019, and the chip had a battery soldered on, so maybe the battery was dead?

    But I am also expecting a level of enshitification as their firmware was bricking machines using third party ink.
