We finally replaced the toner in ours after… 8 years? And it was still printing fine, I just couldn’t bypass the warning anymore (started complaining at 1500, finally replaced at ~2400)
It got us through:
wife’s immigration paperwork
my contracting work (lots of contracts)
lots of handouts for various community stuff
COVID at-home school assignments
drawing pages for the kids
And so on. The new one should last 8k more pages, so I think I’m set pretty much forever.
Yup. I’m willing to spend like $80-100 for something that should last the rest of my life. I’ve heard failure rates in after market toner cartridges are high, and I just don’t want to take the risk.
Sounds good. I assume I’ll need a replacement this year and I looked at the aftermarket and what people are saying, but I’d prefer the safer option, too.
Oh it does use it, but that’s on me printing several hundred pages two months ago. With normal usage, I’m sure it lasts years.

For your replacement, did you buy an original brother toner?
