Had I known in advance that this printer is booby trapped to prevent use of partially used toner cartridges, I would not have bought it. It took a day of research and a lot of tinkering with the toner cartridges to bypass the downright sneaky booby trap. Rebuilt and aftermarket toner cartridges work just fine in this machine; however, you must never take one out if it has any toner left in it because the machine will reject it if you try to put it back in. This is akin to building a car that when a tire goes flat you cannot have it patched; rather, you have to buy a "genuine Smashmouth Auto replacement tire" which costs five times what other equivalent tires cost. Brother really has tried its best to screw the customer.
