1. Your account is defined by your email address
  2. Your email address is unchangeable
  3. You can create a new account with a new email address, but you can’t re-register the same printer, because it was already registered to your old email address

This means you can be locked out of registering your printer. Why are all printer companies the stupidest companies ever?

    Bullshit. I’m not referring to one single update. It’s multiple printers.

    There is a reason there are instruction videos on youtube for how to swap a toner cartridge chip to a 3rd party cartridge.

      Funny, looking it up, I have no problem finding sellers of compatible toner for Brother printers here.

        Funny, that doesn’t address what I said at all. You can find 3rd party toner/ink for any printer.

        Brother (like other printer manufacturers) attempts to block non-OEM toner and ink.
