I keep searching for Brother printers at Goodwill because apparently they are the best for non-DRM cartridges.

But, when I use my little pocket friend (an AI called Gemini, perhaps you know him?) he often indicates that the printer I'm seeing is 12 years old, and probably has wear and tear on the rollers.

Does anyone know if this is true? I would really like to get a printer that avoids the cartridge cartels.

But, Goodwill is no longer really inexpensive, and they often don't let you return things if they are broken. I would pay $20 for a used printer, but the few Brother printers I found are always $69 or thereabouts.
