1. Your account is defined by your email address
  2. Your email address is unchangeable
  3. You can create a new account with a new email address, but you can’t re-register the same printer, because it was already registered to your old email address

This means you can be locked out of registering your printer. Why are all printer companies the stupidest companies ever?

    I don’t remember why, but I’m pretty sure I needed to to use some kind of service.

      But why are you trying to re-register it now?

      The whole point of Brothers is they just work.

      Buy a cheap laser and throw it in your closet and only pull it out the few times you need to print, and it will always just work no matter what you plug it into.

      There’s zero reason to register, and even less to try and update that later.

        I’m still bitter my old brother printer tried to force me to buy ink. Had to put black tape over the sensors. It seems they don’t do that anymore, thankfully.
