Presuming your own printer is a Brother

you'll read that success varies. My personal advice would be that, unless your printer was older or you considered it to be expendable, I'd only use printer cartridges that come from the manufacturer. I've personally only witnessed the destruction of a laser printer once when the user installed a "compatible" cartridge. Once was enough.

A client lost a printer with this.

The drum had seized and in those models the design didn't anticipate recycled or refurb toner or carts. The client wanted to sue the supplier but as you can imagine the purchase and instructions had a disclaimer. Besides these printers are now 99 bucks.
