    Euuhh does nobody realize Brother has existed for like 20 years and doesn’t pull all this HP shit? They even have label printers which allow third party labels.

    There are inkjet printers now from multiple other brands which are great too and allow full refills.

    Just don’t buy HP it’s that easy.

      You were right until around 2020 when Brother, too, started to roll out firmware updates outright blocking third party toners or even worse, making the printers intentionally print like crap with third party cartridges:

      Now, that even Brother has turned to the dark side, I really don’t know what printer to recommend other than older/used Brothers with firmware updates disabled.
