Brother was good but I’m disappointed by the last units I had. After 4 years of light home usage (one page here and there), they are not picking up paper in the tray. Same for some relatives which bought similar units. Feels like scheduled obsolescence …
The printer might just need a maintenance kit done to it. Those rollers are meant to wear out over time.
It is surprising they'd stop working after only occasional use. The rollers on my scanner are good for 30k scans.
You say "occasional use", I read "given time for dust to collect".
It's this. All the printers at my office started screwing up in 2022 after barely any usage from 2020-2022.
