I liked my Brother, but they have some tricks they pull. For one, when I got my Brother box duplex monochrome laser printer, it had just printed a fantastic looking page and then it stopped and declared it was out of toner. I turns out, there’s an option in the settings that is enabled by default to stop it from printing when it feels the toner is out. Anyway, I then ordered some aftermarket toner and the printer was fucked since. I’m not sure what happened, but the print quality went to crap. I’m guessing I’d need to buy a new drum kit or something, but for what I paid for it, I gave up on it and threw it out. I’ve not had a printer since. Occasionally, I wish I had a printer, but nowadays, you can get by without one fairly easily. I may purchase another Brother at some point, but it’s low on my list of things to get.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that Brother label printers are annoying. I’m not sure if they own stock in battery companies, but if you let them sit with a battery in them, it will be fully depleted by the next time you’ll want to use it. I feel the engineers secretly offered a way to stop this without alerting upper management by leaving a void in the battery/media chamber with enough room to store a battery that you can pop out to disconnect the circuit and store the battery inside the unit. Also, they are overly generous with the margins for the labels by giving them like an inch on each side. Instead of a label printing out like [ TEST ], it prints out like [ TEST ]. Such horseshit!
