I hate hearing that about Canon. I’ve always been a big fan and they used to be the reasonable ones. Of course my printer is a bit older, to the extent that it’s not supported in Windows 11 (it’s easier to print Windows documents from Linux or my iPhone), and it’s off my list for any future printers
Yeah, I had a Canon BW laser printer that has chugged along and gave no complaints with a toner cartridge I paid $20 for a 3-pack. Another family member has inherited it but hearing the fact they are stepping up their DRM leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
