Oh, Brother.

My laser printer "ran out" of toner about a year ago. Thankfully, I knew about the Brother laser printer toner trick (where you cover up the toner level detecting sensors inside the printer).
Tonight the toner level was finally low enough to warrant switching to a new toner cartridge.

A stats page was printed out after the new toner cartridge was installed. Here are some shocking statistics:

Total Pages Printed: 2035

Error history
1: JAM INSIDE Page: 808
2: TONER LIFE END Page: 621

Holy crap. You know what this means?! The toner lasted 1,414 pages after its life had apparently ended! Wowzers. I hope everyone with a Brother laser printer learns about this trick before they install that new toner at 622 pages.

holy shit, computer problems
