Shit. So enshittification has hit them as well.

Is this a Brother or Canon?

It’s rarely worth fixing an inkjet. There’s a host of issues that could be in play, but if shit is out of register and paper isn’t feeding in an environment of reasonable humidity, this is going to be more expensive than just getting a new one. Sadly, this is the state of our economy.

What I will suggest, whether you go laser or inkjet, is Brother. They’ve not yet, to my knowledge, instituted chip limitations and other such lock-in crap. Granted, this was before the pandemic, but I was able to get five-packs (CMYKK) of third-party ink for $10, and toner for the laser good for 3,000 pages at 5% coverage for $30.
