      Do Brother printers prevent you from using non Brother branded cartridges?

        Brother printers won’t even let you print in black after you’re out of yellow for three weeks.

          Its worth knowing brother has very recently taken on this stance as a company. They used to be the GO TO for good non shitty printers, but no longer

          And they’ll burn through yellow during “cleaning” to make it even worse

        Worse, they make printing in black only without colors anywhere from impossible to infuriating, depending on how much you’re willing to put up with.

        And yeah, you get one use of a non brother cartridge, then it’s “empty” permanently.

      Agreed. There’s no such thing as a good printer anymore. Fuck them.

      On the bright side, printers sucking so badly has led me to take extreme measures to avoid having to print much of anything, and on the rare occasion we need something printed, I just go to the library and do it there.
