@uninventive@Heterokromia@yogthos Was just looking through your timeline and saw you’ve worked as a technician and serviced these things — so if I’m wrong about the sensor my apologies. I’d expect IR windows to not work for toner but maybe at best there’d be a density sensor to detect when it’s truly out. In any case I like simple brother laser printers and was sad to learn they were starting to do the same lockout stuff everyone else does.
@uninventive@Heterokromia@yogthos And a printer lock-in accelerationist! I’ll be ready for scrolls and fountain pens when-the-toner-cartridge-hits-the-fan.

@zachnfine @Heterokromia @yogthos Nah, it’s cool.
And just a technician. Not Brother trained nor on their payroll. 👍
