Straight up when I bought my black and white brother laser printer I got an extra cartridge with it because I didn't expect it to last very long

By the time I finally had to swap it out I couldn't find the extra cartridge I bought with it because it had been so long

Needless to say I'm 3 years and 500+ pages into the second cartridge and happy to have this clunky little printer

Unfortunately someone snuck someone from HP into Brother's executive chain. They're starting the fuckery now too.

I guess the only right thing to do is to buy used Brother laser printers until they all break... Such warhorses.

NGL everytime I move I pack my Brother Laser like fine artwork

Sadly this is true and even on updated software for old printers. I'm rolling back though. The old versions worked fine.
