Do Brother printers prevent you from using non Brother branded cartridges?

Brother printers won't even let you print in black after you're out of yellow for three weeks.

And they'll burn through yellow during "cleaning" to make it even worse

Its worth knowing brother has very recently taken on this stance as a company. They used to be the GO TO for good non shitty printers, but no longer

Agreed. There's no such thing as a good printer anymore. Fuck them.

On the bright side, printers sucking so badly has led me to take extreme measures to avoid having to print much of anything, and on the rare occasion we need something printed, I just go to the library and do it there.

If you really, I mean REALLY, want to hate printers, try being a Citrix admin. It's a bit better now but 20 years ago it was a pita.

Yeah, not sure why I qualified my statement with "anymore." Printers have always sucked donkey ass!

One of my favorite places to be tbh
