lol..
I've been really lucky with my brother printer. Older model, none of that wi-fi stuff. I'm assuming that's how the HP got disabled.
It got disabled because they agreed to an ink subscription service and didn’t pay HP. The printer will still work but not with cartridges on loan from HP.
Brother printer is king. The older models are best for office use. Apparently newer models have all these anti-third party protocols in place that complicate the use of third party ink cartridges and drums that are typically 90% cheaper than branded versions.
Brother generally made some good stuff. That was the last one I had, got rid of it because the transfer drum cost more than the printer did.
And that is what I heard about Brother. I didn't know much about which brand to get. I'll admit asking around on Reddit and most people had good things to say about Brother, so that is what I went with.
Also: You can find cost-effective third party drums and toners for brother printers.
I went from typically paying 45 dollars a year on toner to 3 dollars a year.
Brother 100%
Hp can fuck off and die
One of their mid price B&W lasers will probably do you good for a long while.
I've had this printer for probably 5 years at least and I'm still using the drum it came with. I hardly ever print anything, but I'm still surprised it has lasted this long.
Mine lasted 10 years or so, I think it just failed due to age. I can't complain for a $99 printer.
