Well, that’s a pleasant piece of news among a number of not-so-pleasant news items.
This sounds accurate based on the user reports. They’re not bricking anything, they just make you do manual registration if you use third party toner.
…they just make you do manual registration if you use third party toner
Man, if only we had a word for disabling critical features in this way.
If there is one, it’s not “bricking”, because it still functions as a printer.
Upvoted for understanding the concept of words having already established definitions
Standardized word meanings being recognized and adhered to really brings me joy.
I don’t like that meanings change over time.“my account got hacked”
No, you gave someone your information they used to log in.
Ohhhhhhh, standardized word meanings are TIGHT!
So on one hand, yes. On the other hand, there are tasks that are onerous to non technicians.
If you asked me to do it manually, sure. I’ve interacted with a bunch of software, understand measurement systems, done some programming etc.
My wife on the other hand… There’s no overlap between ecology or life sciences in this task. Outside her ability.
Which is weird because one of Rossman’s sources claimed that they were on the phone with Brother, asked how to do manual registration, and were told it couldn’t be done unless a genuine Brother toner cartridge was installed.
Maybe support agent was being lazy, or ignorant.
The portal the agents use should be able to bring up internal info via keywords like “colour registration”
That person was just plain wrong. The same source showed the manual registration sheets under their reddit post.
Link? Where does it say that and how does one do that?
The links are in the article.
I don’t know the specific process, but usually it’s printing a registration page and then entering the offsets on the printer’s control panel.

In other news: tesla bans third party gas pumps
Close: you do get banned from their supercharger network if you try to repair your own car
Fascinating. I wonder how many people are going it alone or 3rd party with Tesla repairs now.
gas pumps of any kind are banned for Tesla
