I appreciate the tongue in cheek "AI" generated article but seriously, Brother isn't where it's at for home printers anymore. I had one of the mentioned printers and after a firmware update I couldn't use third party toners anymore. We moved to an Epson ink tank printer, so far so good.

Just remove the DRM chip that’s located on the starter cartridge, mine was on with a small Phillips screw. I then used the Brither DRM chip on my Linkyo toner cartridge and it works a treat. Problem solved AFICT.

I have both HL-2300 (USB) and HL-2370DW (USB/Eth/WiFi). 2300 I had for what feels like a decade and went through at least 5 toner cartridges, all cheapest possible off-brand from Amazon or eBay, every single one worked perfectly. The 2370DW is still on first cartridge, quick check on Amazon shows bunch of compatible of-brand cartridges so I don't think there should be any problems. HL-2300 is often used to print from my Linux laptop, through CUPS I think. These things just... work.

I have an HL-L2350DW and use nothing but e-z ink tn760 toners in it from amazon lol. It works fine.
