Brother holds you hostage to their opinion of when to change toner!
Brother is still playing their stupid game with toner. I get a hundred pages out of their "starter" toner cartridge, and then the printer will not let me print anymore. IT decided my toner was low and needs replacing (based on page count?). That it is printing just fine for my purposes, is irrelevant. That I don't mind having less than 100% toner density is irrelevant. It physically stops the printer from functioning until I go out and buy another toner cartridge. Or until I go back on line and google the reset sequences to fake it into thinking it has a new cartridge. My customer is standing here and I can't hand him a !_&&%$@!$ receipt!
This is almost criminal. It's my printer, I bought it, and if I want to print until the letters are barely visible, that's my business. At the point mine locked up and refused to print, the print quality was visually indistinguishable from when it started.
