    Oh FFS. Not Brother as well. I used to recommend them to everyone. Who is left with unshittified printers?

      Kyocera.

      Also Japanese, and plenty of cheap generic toners available online. They even publish Linux drivers.

          You can run a power clean cycle which should help, then just replace the foam pads they saturate with ink for the cleaning

          They’re not perfect but they’re still the most consumer friendly option on the market at this point

            After talking to support 15 times, they never suggested replacing anything, and power clean wasn’t enough. I’ve long since destroyed the thing out of malignant rage and turned to libraries and copy shops, but it’s good to know that there might have been a solution.

          I have the 2850. Been using it for a couple years now. Print maybe once a month. Nozzles get clogged periodically but you run the automated cleaning process and it’s back to working again.
