pip1,

I don’t know, my Brother printed definitely has DRM/lock-in toner cartridges. And if only one of them gets too low the whole thing stops working. Still can’t get double sided to work reliably

So I call bs on their fandom

pip1,

No luck for me, what is your model out of interest?

Only success I’ve had with using non Brother toner is swapping the small chip at the end of the ‘fake’ cartridge with an old ‘genuine’ one

pip1,

Hey that’s really helpful, thanks for sharing! Brother toner is about 3x more expensive for me.

I have HL- version of same model. Doesn’t have exactly the same toner options as in the link, but I’ve spotted a ‘Reset’ button hidden up the ‘Toner->Calibrate’ menu. Strongly suspect that’ll do the job!

The chip transfer thing has caused me issues in the past though, with the printer refusing to accept the toner even after switching them.

She’s focussing deeply on using Windows’ On-screen keyboard

pip1,

I expect that I 1. underestimate the forces of nature and 2. overestimate the quality of British manufacturing

pip1,

Yes, all weakened and then blown over in a recent storm. Corrosion from sea-salt in the air maybe? There are tens of them about, which does not seem normal

pip1,

Agreed. So quality of British manufacturing and workmanship. Now someone has to pay to have them all replaced.

pip1,

Hadn’t considered that, grit lorries must fling a lot at the base with each pass.

pip1,

Very good points!

pip1,

Fantastic, may bring a tape measure on the next commute

pip1,

Wow, that’s sad. Yes we are, they really layer on the stuff here, at places where the lorry has to pass multiple times (e.g. a roundabout) you can even get ‘salt dune’ deposits from it building up. Wrecks the drivetrain on my bicycle - inevitably have to replace components once winter is over.

pip1,

Now, you gotta promise me you’re not gonna kill anyone, right?

pip1,

Military comms. Sounds like a more evocative use of the word compared to a courier service!

pip1,

Figure the idea of the name is a network for air/flight transit

pip1,

I have no plan to pay it currently… see if anything comes of it. Would be interested to know if anyone else has ignored fees from them

pip1,

Yes, the original tickets were from Ticketmaster and refunded. But StubHub (separate selling site) still want a cut even though I obviously can no longer sell the tickets, if that makes sense? Which is ridiculous because obviously it’s not my fault the concert was cancelled.

pip1,

This makes sense, maybe I should remove my note (to leave under shelter by the bins) entirely

pip1,

Can’t see that lasting long…

pip1,

I tend to just stand in it and jump up and down if that’s what you mean 😂

pip1,

Not at all, thanks - I’ll be sure to revise the directions to remove any doubt!

pip1,

Good ideas, thanks!

pip1,

Ha it’s a shared bin (which I just realised makes the delivery even more risky).

Standing in the bin and jumping up and down is a good strategy to compact at a later date. Otherwise, the hydraulic press of the bin lorry can handle it :)
