Pro-tip: buy Brother printers. Just do it.
You mean the same Brother that is DRMing paper for their receipt and label printers?
Them too now?
Damn it, I better take care of my current Brother laser printer.
That thing has been running on the same drum for more than five years. Granted I don’t print much. But when I need to it just spins up, does its job, then goes back to sleep
So which brand is the go-to now, then? Time to start shopping from Alibaba…
Brother does this shit too. And as a bonus, some of them run an automatic cleaning cycle on a recurring schedule that uses up all the yellow ink.
Can confirm. Printer currently collecting dust because it doesn’t want to acknowledge a 3rd party color ink cartridge, so it won’t print black…
allegedly they use the yellow die to print an identification code so police can id whoever printed the thing
