I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Last time this came up, people were quick to bring up brother, and others (and that was new) to mention that brother started to do the same crap (limiting 3rd party toners). So I really don’t know what to think of them anymore.

    I could be in the market for a b&w laser printer/scanner soon so I’ll keep an eye on replies here.

      Brother pulls similar shit. My brother printer day my ink is out, and prints shittty pages, but the test page it prints is absolutely gorgeous.

      In my experience laser Brothers are still less fussy and way more reliable and durable than competing brands.

        Kind of, yes. 603XL has many compatible options, but the 604 of current printers was not available for cheap when I looked a few months ago.
