Brother's latest firmware updates on newer color lasers have locked out third party toner companies pretty well. It's a cat and mouse game, but Brother is no saint. I own an 11 year old Brother B&W laser that is still cookin'. I just went searching for a color laser and I still will probably go with Brother, but it's certainly not clear cut in terms of business practices.

My Brother color laser is running the latest firmware and works just fine with knockoff Chinese toner carts that cost about 1/4 what Brother charges.
