Oh BROTHER, not this again.

On a more serious note, I’ve been all about brother printers for a few years now and couldn’t be happier.

Unfortunately brother seems to be doing it now too. Don’t let your old Brother printers update.

Read pinned comment, talking to brother.

meantime turns out was misunderstanding/bullshit. maybe reroute your rage energies elsewhere
Called brother about this and talked through the issues raised by Rossmann, they convinced me enough to buy 3 printers from them this month.
My current brother printer is a pile of shit.
I’ve been rockin my HL3170CDW for many years now. I have absolutely no issues with this printer, and I’ll buy nothing else.
They apparently restricted 3rd party ink now too.
You got a source? Everyone else says it was debunked.
Oh didn’t hear it was debunked. Cool to know!
