Oh it does use it, but that's on me printing several hundred pages two months ago. With normal usage, I'm sure it lasts years.

We finally replaced the toner in ours after... 8 years? And it was still printing fine, I just couldn't bypass the warning anymore (started complaining at 1500, finally replaced at ~2400)

It got us through:

wife's immigration paperwork
my contracting work (lots of contracts)
lots of handouts for various community stuff
COVID at-home school assignments
drawing pages for the kids

And so on. The new one should last 8k more pages, so I think I'm set pretty much forever.

For your replacement, did you buy an original brother toner?

Yup. I'm willing to spend like $80-100 for something that should last the rest of my life. I've heard failure rates in after market toner cartridges are high, and I just don't want to take the risk.

Sounds good. I assume I'll need a replacement this year and I looked at the aftermarket and what people are saying, but I'd prefer the safer option, too.
