Yeah, I tell everyone to just buy a brother laser and leave it at that. They may cost a little bit more up front and they don't do photos (who really prints photos at home anyway). But they just work.. Which is saying a LOT for printers.. God I hate printers.

Epson and HP were always the worst, using ID chips to prevent you from using 3rd party cartridges while telling you they were empty when in fact there was still 30% left in them. And that's when they weren't getting emptied in forced unecessary head cleanings/calibrations.

What sad sack of a human devotes their career to writing such anti- human code?

The one thing I wish I could disable from ALL printers is the invisible code using yellow ink. Even if I'm printing in all black (high capacity cartridge) the yellow is going to run out first.
