The suit, filed earlier this year, argues that HP all-in-one printers stop all functions when ink levels reach some arbitrary point.

If you don't need an all-in-one printer, then the Brother HL-L2350DW is great. The best thing about it is that it prints. These accolades are really the bare minimum you'd expect from a device called a "printer", but that's where we are in the world of consumer electronics.

I made the mistake of recommending Brother printers without identifying the exact version. The Brother printer my coworker bought took a page from HP'd bullshit. He returned it after a week.

Imo - Look for ones that don't need internet or just perform 1 extremely specific thing. Or in my case, I printing a lot of b&w docs as cheap as possible.

My recommendation would be the brother laser printer HL-L2300D from 2014. The 2350DW looks similar and is more recent from 2021 and might be okay too.

It bugs me to hear that. My mantra for years has been "Buy a Brother printer, they just work". Do you know what model of Brother had a HP style limitation, and what the limitation was? I'd like to educate myself before I recommend them again.

I had a Brother MFC something that had page counts on the toner cartridges: they would only print so many pages before saying they were out of ink, regardless of how much ink was left. You could access a secret menu and reset the counts using a special button sequence, but it was a gigantic pain at the time.
