I had this setup but during a reinstall/update Windows still destroyed Grub. You have been warned!

pip1 ,

I don't know, my Brother printed definitely has DRM/lock-in toner cartridges. And if only one of them gets too low the whole thing stops working. Still can't get double sided to work reliably

So I call bs on their fandom

pip1 ,

No luck for me, what is your model out of interest?

Only success I've had with using non Brother toner is swapping the small chip at the end of the 'fake' cartridge with an old 'genuine' one

pip1 ,

Hey that's really helpful, thanks for sharing! Brother toner is about 3x more expensive for me.

I have HL- version of same model. Doesn't have exactly the same toner options as in the link, but I've spotted a 'Reset' button hidden up the 'Toner->Calibrate' menu. Strongly suspect that'll do the job!

The chip transfer thing has caused me issues in the past though, with the printer refusing to accept the toner even after switching them.

She's focussing deeply on using Windows' On-screen keyboard

pip1 OP ,

I have no plan to pay it currently... see if anything comes of it. Would be interested to know if anyone else has ignored fees from them

pip1 OP ,

Yes, the original tickets were from Ticketmaster and refunded. But StubHub (separate selling site) still want a cut even though I obviously can no longer sell the tickets, if that makes sense? Which is ridiculous because obviously it's not my fault the concert was cancelled.

pip1 OP ,

My instructions were "On the porch or under the shelter by the bins"

pip1 OP ,

Fortunately remote enough not to have to worry about porch pirates. But maybe that's what the driver was thinking

pip1 OP ,

The best part was that I just opened the package, took out the item, and left the envelop there. Efficient recycling!

pip1 OP ,

Maybe I need to erase the word "bin" from all delivery instructions. Too suggestive perhaps

pip1 OP ,

That's the thing, I'm always hesitant to give negative feedback on the delivery given I know it's more than likely that the driver is both overworked and poorly paid.

pip1 OP ,

Haha, astute observation. It's communal. Someone will have to squash it all down before long!

pip1 OP ,

Interesting how the thought of knocking on the door also seems to have been short-circuited

pip1 OP ,

When Amazon starts a garbage collection division "Amazon Waste & Dispose" we'll know there's a conspiracy!

pip1 OP ,

This makes sense, maybe I should remove my note (to leave under shelter by the bins) entirely

pip1 OP ,

Can't see that lasting long...

pip1 OP ,

I tend to just stand in it and jump up and down if that's what you mean 😂

pip1 OP ,

Not at all, thanks - I'll be sure to revise the directions to remove any doubt!

pip1 OP ,

Good ideas, thanks!

pip1 OP ,

Ha it's a shared bin (which I just realised makes the delivery even more risky).

Standing in the bin and jumping up and down is a good strategy to compact at a later date. Otherwise, the hydraulic press of the bin lorry can handle it :)
