Hmm my 4-year-old $100 Brother printer is due for its first toner swap. Generic ones are $20 but Brother owns are like $75. I’m gonna have to see if this applies to mine.
Even the Brother printer I got in undergrad needed electrical tape on the toner sensor so that it wasn’t lying to you and telling you that you needed to buy a new cartridge at 33%. That was from 2008, 2009 tops.
I can decide for myself when I need new toner. I don’t need some service in the Amazon cloud to do it for me, I literally see what the fuck the page looks like when it’s finished.

The older Brother printers are amazing and exactly what is needed in a printer. Nothing more or other BS. Unfortunately, recently changed of course.
