I've been using a Brother MFC colour laser printer here for the past few years, and like it quite a bit.

The cartridges do have "page counter" chips, but there's a secret button press combo to reset the counters if need be. The chips can also be transferred to replacement cartridges without much fuss.

Most of the third-party cartridges seem to arrive with working chips, so transferring/resetting the old ones shouldn't be needed.

Cheers
