We've had an MFC4800 for a number of years now (and paid several hundred more than it sells for now.)
I bought a non-Brother toner cartridge. Once.
It printed terribly, had streaks everywhere. I wound up replacing the drum as well to get it working properly again.
This was only the 2nd toner cartridge, so I don't think it was quite time for a drum.
Spend the extra money on this - buy the Brother toner.

I ordered this item because the title and Description CLEARLY state that this is a BROTHER OEM part.

Technical Details

Compatible with DCP1000; IntelliFax 2800, 2900, 3800; MFC4800, MFC6800
Yields 2,200 pages at 5% coverage
Fine black toner particles for sharp detail
Genuine Brother quality accessory
What I was shipped was a COMPATIBLE generic cartridge. I would not have purchased this item if it was clearly labled as non-OEM. One could argue that the price should have been a give-away, but it is still misleading and deceptive.
UPDATE: Apparently Amazon made a mistake in the listing for this item and merged non-OEM and OEM sellers. The marketplace seller in this case contacted me (Abacus24-7) and has offered a full refund of the purchase price and shipping. I will update this review once I get my refund. The current listing now lists Amazon.com as the seller and the price has gone from $7 to $24 indicating that most likely this is now the genuine OEM product.

Tried a generic equivalent cartridge from Staples with miserable results--could barely read the printing from my laser fax. Replaced the almost new generic with the real thing and 3 pages later the printing was just fine. I have used "equivalent" toner cartridges (by Xerox) with my HP printer and had very good results, but I will stick with Brother for my fax.
