Brother Laser Printer - Not my toner!

Purchased a brother laser printer, model HL-L2325DW, came with a toner cartridge.
Cancelled their subscription and found out....... that toner is really not mine! As soon as I unsubscribed, the toner cartridge quit working.
Fewer and fewer printing companies with which I want to do business. Especially since HP stopped me from using my scanner, because I did not have genuine HP cartridges in it.
Good luck everyone!

Hi !!"
We have owned the same model as yours. We checked out the"subscription" option, but we did not sign up as we did not know our level of need. Instead, we took it back to our retailer, opting for a used fleet to test, evaluate, write up our experiences as we learn more about this incredibly involved area. We have done a lot of research

OUR SUGGESTION:
Have you bought a used OEM cart. online, pulled the chip, swapped it for the "e-marked" chip (the rejected one) and tried it after pouring a refill kit into your empty? OR have you considered an "open box" (don't pay more than 70-80% of new, less if they have broken the seal on the protective bag) genuine OEM cart. online: printers break, sellers find 'em at thrift shops and some "wake-up" after the frustration fueled assault on their device to find they now have an un-needed cart. or two because their "assault" proved fatal. Who knows? But, they do find their ways onto sites that market that stuff. . . . . . . . (See below for suggested vendor)

Hope this adds a little hope to you, BUT we are unable to test out this theory. Need others help for that and keeping fingers crossed that it works for you . . . . (Just a guy trying to reduce print costs in our 'lil shop and perhaps pass a usable thought to others occasionally. Best to You in your navigation of the e-life as related to printers !
____________
recommend to users who experience a Brother printer death, a) consider purchase of a used operational unit of the same model and retain the former device for parts, especially the TN760 in it; b) (If usage is more than 3 carts per year investigate use of refilled OEM carts. (check out the "About Us" page at "tonerrefillkits.com" because they do not use "universal toner" in everything and have been at it since '87) ; and c) consider your own minimal "fleet" : mono LP and a color all-in-one. For now let's get the 2325 working ! If successful, this may help frustrated users elsewhere.

Yes and now back to what rltidd57 said in his/her original message.

I’m glad you pointed this out :oops:
I’ve just bought a “New” HL-L8230CDW (colour Laser) and at the time of buying I included toner subscription what Brother is calling “MPS Essential” however at the time I hadn’t give MPS my banking details, today they messaged me requesting them. No way am I goner pay per page for my own tona. However I think and hope that I can sign up later when most of the starter tona that comes free with the printer is mostly used up.
