BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

I inherited a Brother laser printer from a lab I was once in. Apparently the toner only says it's almost out via an infrared sensor. I read you can tape over the part on the toner cartridge and it will keep printing until it actually runs out.

I've printed so many more things after I did that, it's actually still going now.

You can also disable that in the menu. I bought a brother printer and it said that the toner was empty so I purchased a new toner cartridge but then I disabled the warning and I'm still on the original toner. And I printed so much stuff with it, it's like it never runs out ๐Ÿ˜‚
