Buy brother laser. It’s more expensive, but it’s worth it long term. They last a real long time and the cartridges last bananas and they don’t care about “official” ink

Straight up when I bought my black and white brother laser printer I got an extra cartridge with it because I didn't expect it to last very long

By the time I finally had to swap it out I couldn't find the extra cartridge I bought with it because it had been so long

Needless to say I'm 3 years and 500+ pages into the second cartridge and happy to have this clunky little printer

Unfortunately someone snuck someone from HP into Brother's executive chain. They're starting the fuckery now too.

Sadly this is true and even on updated software for old printers. I'm rolling back though. The old versions worked fine.
