Comment on HP Inc settles printer toner lockout lawsuit with a promise to make firmware updates optional
Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 month agoNo idea. Some model I bought off Amazon.
The printer headers are constantly moving out of alignment. Every time I print I need to realign the headers.
Probably has something to do with the printer starting up every few days and making a bunch of noise doing who knows what.
I hate this fucking printer and will never buy brother again.

That noise is the heads being cleaned, which needs to happen on all inkjet printers. It may be that your one was simply broken. I bet if you call Brother and ask for some advice they will help you.

I would. But a little research shows this is a very common problem with this model.
Even if I get it replaced it will eventually happen again.
Poor design.
After all of these years these people still can’t get it right. Fool me once.

Still in warranty or less than 3 years old? I saw the Reddit post on this issue, might still be worth asking, they may have developed a hardware of software fix, and if not they may allow you to switch model.
