Can't say I've had an issue with my Brother. Works great with Linux and ink is available at the office supply store.

I used to have one Brother mode, sold it for $50 after long battle with ink drains. It will sneakily drain the ink cleaning the print head at midnight. I had to keep it off. Then they have chips inside the cartridge to prove authenticity of cartridge!! When the printer itself is cheaper than the cartridge, its almost always is a scam in my personal experience.

Get an EPSON tank printer, or a laser..
