You mean the same Brother that is DRMing paper for their receipt and label printers?
Them too now?
Damn it, I better take care of my current Brother laser printer.
That thing has been running on the same drum for more than five years. Granted I don't print much. But when I need to it just spins up, does its job, then goes back to sleep
So which brand is the go-to now, then? Time to start shopping from Alibaba...
Brother does this shit too. And as a bonus, some of them run an automatic cleaning cycle on a recurring schedule that uses up all the yellow ink.
Can confirm. Printer currently collecting dust because it doesn't want to acknowledge a 3rd party color ink cartridge, so it won't print black...
Gotta use some yellow to make a greyer grey
allegedly they use the yellow die to print an identification code so police can id whoever printed the thing
That's how Edward snowden was caught. You can find the dots with a magnifying glass
"And also, you have to buy the yellow paint from us, it doesn't count if you buy it somewhere else."
Does Epson do this too? I thought it was all HP
Printers and phones are the bane of my existence.
