FWIW Brother will still disable your printer if it uses 3rd party toner. I don't have a better recommendation, though. Be prepared to either shell out for the official stuff, or learn to do batter with firmware updates and toner cartridge chips.
I've been using cheap third-party toner in my Brother printer for over a decade.
They started including ink DRM in 2019 I think? Newer models with new firmware may vary, but I know the old Brother printers are excellent.
That's horrible news. Thankfully my HL-2270DW from early 2013 is still chugging along without any issues. I'm on my 5th toner cartridge.
