> Screw Brother. I'm tired of reading that they're "the one good brand" out there. They are very not.

OK but is there any other alternative? Wife's SME: two Brother printers (these are with official support for everything although I did have to modify a few settings here or there when they moved office and their router IP changed for example). Home number one: Brother printer. Home number two: Brother printer.

It's really pathetic if they started preventing other toners from working but they're still fine machines.

What would I replace our four Brother laser printers with?

Basically I read your post and Brother "won": I'll just make sure to buy official Brother toners. Which sucks.

Canon, I guess? The Canon MF4150 that I bought some 15 years ago is still humming along well, and doesn't mind using third-party toners. No idea how they are now though.
