| | Recommendation | |---------------|----------------------| | Casual home user | Try the EEPROM reset tool first. If that fails, replace the printer (used ML-2160s cost less than the time needed). | | Tech-savvy enthusiast | Downgrade firmware to V3.00.01.09. Keep the original firmware file offline. | | Small business | Not recommended. Unpredictable results and downtime risk. Switch to a Brother HL-L2300D or HP LaserJet M110we (if you accept toner restrictions). |
