Good. Screw HP and their overpriced junk.

Laser printers are the way.

I'm only ever recommending Brother to anyone.

Don't get too attached to a brand - it's a great way to get backstabbed. I've had good luck with Brother so far but no brand is immune to succumbing to shareholder interests.

It's worse than that. Companies are legally required to follow shareholder interests. That's not that big of an issue with unlisted companies since their shareholders are most likely directly involved with the company or at least share a similar vision to those that are, but any publicly traded company is going to be solely focused on "line go up lol" whether they want to or not.

I'm glad that people are finally starting to hack and defeat the DRM used in print cartridges. I've always heard people complain about it but I've never seen much done.
