Go back and read that cartoon up there. That's why. All printers have become enshittified. Brother is no exception.
I have a brother colour laser printer that's been complaining about being low on magenta for like... a year now. Still prints black and white just fine.
But what about all the other phantom functions? Did you ever ask it to print something and it wouldn't, and then 3 months later randomly in the middle of the night it finally printed that thing you wanted 3 months ago? It did that to me several times and I was sick of its shit and it did a lot of other insane things too. It was also one of those things that required Wi-Fi though I have no idea why it wouldn't work without Wi-Fi, and its connectivity was always glitching, which interfered with its ability to print at all. I'm grateful for Costco's generous return policy.
No, it never did anything like that. It also works just fine without wifi using a USB connection.
Did you buy an inkjet and expect it to be amazing and last for ever because it was a Brother printer?
Yeah I don't think a B&W printer will complain about being out of a colour
It was a color laser printer. I had it for less than a year.
