It is not brothers fault. It was something they were forced to do.

More generally, I have found Brother to be the least worst printer company.

If you are only printing text, a low end brother laser printer is by far your best option.

If you are printing less than a couple of hundred colour pages a year you are better off going to a print shop to do so as it will be cheaper.

If you are printing more than a couple of hundred colour pages a years look into Epson ecotank printers as they are the most cost effective option.
