On: HP have updated their printers to ban ‘non-HP’ car...

[lotsofpulp]

Been using Brother MFC printers for 20 years and all the software and technical documents were easily available on the website. And they are cheap enough that I would toss it if it ever broke early, but none ever have.

My brother mfc stopped working after 13 months and they offered zero support. Comments online said it was a power module.

Someone on ebay sold me the wrong power board.

The local brother service center wanted me to sign some kind of business support agreement to even talk about fixing it (it is just me at home).

So I threw my $400 paperweight in the landfills electronics section and swore i would never buy another one.

Yep, my Brother MFC Laserjet is 15 years old and still working great.
