I specifically excluded Brother from my last printer search because I read they were getting precious about toner cartridges. HP was totally in on that as well with ink jet.
I was able to get a laser printer from HP that didn’t have enshittified firmware, and that thing is never ever going to be on the network. This was a few years ago. I hope HP is sensitive to their business customers, who would be a large fraction of laser printer buyers. But I don’t know how they are these days.
That’s why all I have is an old black and white brother printer, because you can’t even trust them anymore
