MODERATORS
Is this perhaps why? I thought it was because of kids.
I've had the same ink jet since 2016. The kids have done a good job keeping the jets from having a chance to clog. There is also a wall of family pictures, comparatively infrequent but it was the original reason for purchasing this specific printer. That and zero config printing from mobile devices
That's impressive! Mine is a laser printer so it's a bit different, in my experience inkjets are prone to issues so congratulations on having it so long!
It's a brother I always figured that's why. It was purchased back when it was a highly recommended brand.
I only use branded carts and I've only had to run head cleaning on it a few times, at least one of those took several iterations. Frequent use might have helped.
But it's probably mostly luck and I hope no one takes this as an endorsement of the brand.
I can also attest to the quality of brother (or at least I could 10-15 years ago)
