Looks like several other HN readers have had the same lack of drama with Brother lasers that I have.

Yep, my Brother colour laser runs perfectly on coloured sawdust or whatever the eBay cartridges contain.

In fact, it works so well that I almost feel bad that I'm not rewarding Brother by throwing down over £250 on a set of 4 cartridges, but there are limits, when the off brand ones are £5 a throw.

I reward them sometimes by buying the original Brother TN-2320 (for ca. €60) - but this happens once a few years as I print something like 20 pages a month.

We're on our second Brother laser printer (not MFP) at home over 12 years, but I only changed the first printer because we needed colour instead of b/w - first one was otherwise perfectly fine.

Works swimmingly with Linux, mac and phones (both ios and android) without any special software.

3rd party cartridges just work.

It. Just. Works.
