Laser printers aren't excluded from toner DRM.

I have a Samsung CLP-315W, and kept having problems detecting my first-party replacement toner cartridges because there were DRM chips in them [1]. I think a firmware upgrade even made the DRM worse.

This was almost a decade ago. If I had to get a high-volume home printer now, I'd probably consider one with refillable ink tanks.
