I don't have a lot of money to spend (much less to waste) on printer cartridges, for example. (A couple years ago I bought a 12-pack of HP cartridges for my old HP 825c, but before I could actually use them, the ink dried up! I don't want to go through that again.)
I managed to download the drivers for Debian, the product manual, researched everything I could think of, but now it comes to spending my last few bucks (literally) on the second-most expensive substance* known in human history, so I hesitate before using my debit card.

Brother, of course, "strongly recommends" not to use third-party, or refillable cartridges, etc., but I don't have a warranty, anyway, as I got this thing used.
Has anybody else tried the third-party replacement cartridges or refillables?
I'll have more questions about set-up, I'm sure, once I get my cartridges. Everything seems to work fine, except for no ink.
