Has to be a Brother
Outdated advice (unless buying older stuff) Brother has enshittified like the rest.
They’ve chipped their toner but the off brand stuff that has chips works perfectly fine.
Source: bought 2 different Brother B&W laser models last year and 1 Brother color laser this year for the office. The cloners have already fixed this problem. Still works better than all of the other brands by a wide margin. Those 3 print every damn time from any device we have, mobile and desktop flavor of choice.
What type of chips are in these? Can you "hack" them with a flipper by chance? Like take the old RFID and write it to a new toner cart?
No idea. They’re fairly simple and tell the printer if there is toner left or some such none sense. A used toner chip won’t work on a new toner cartridge.
So ~~who~~ what buy?
