Then get an epson ecotank. That being said, those toner cartridges last so long that I don’t mind paying full price for one every few years.

I've just rejected firmware updates and will continue to do so as long as possible. If it gets to where I can't do that anymore for some reason I might leverage my professional expertise into remedying the situation more permanently.

Yeah, brother claims 4k pages for my cartridges, but I get around 10k pages before I need to replace them. That's pretty reasonable for a 90€ toner cartridge
