My Brother was giving a toner end of life message and refusing to print.

I took the toner end cap off via two screws and reset the gear toggle, and now it prints again.

Cool story.

There's a menu setting to turn that off

I did it, but eventually it didn't. So I gave in and replaced the toner.

I got nearly 3k prints from the starter cartridge, so not bad. My replacement should get like 25k. Given that I had the original for ~8 years, I don't think I'll ever need a B&W printer ever again.

Ah ok mine is newer. I just run the cartridges dry after turning that option off.

Probably. I had to enter a special code, which overrode the block on printing, and that worked for a few hundred prints. But then I couldn't override it anymore.
