        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

      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…
