Most recent discussion on printer DRM firmware update jerkiness:

Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges (tomshardware.com) 536 points by m463 5 days ago | 336 comments | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43261933

To give a voice to both sides, Brother denies it made any of the alleged firmware changes. Also Louis Rossman's source for his claims is a Reddit post from 2022. Source : https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/brother-denies-using...

I see Brother is going with the Lexmark strategy. Maybe they'll wake up before they end up in as bad if shape as Lexmark has wound up in.
