Get a Brother laser printer. No DRM for ink / toner, just solid and reliable printing.

If some punk-ass kid was going around hacking and disabling peoples' printers, the authorities would nab them and throw them in jail.

You mean the government that gives speed to young kids to sit still in school. While at the same time putting adults in prison for using the exact same substance. Imagine if they didn't know what was best for us. What would we do?!?!?

Louis Rossman suggests buying only Brother printers, laser ones preferably.

Dumped them when they started that shit: If you insist on color/ink, get an Epson ET-xxxx or WF-XXXX. Nice, big, cheap refills from bottles, not DRM-cartridges.
