1. Your account is defined by your email address
  2. Your email address is unchangeable
  3. You can create a new account with a new email address, but you can’t re-register the same printer, because it was already registered to your old email address

This means you can be locked out of registering your printer. Why are all printer companies the stupidest companies ever?

      I don’t remember why, but I’m pretty sure I needed to to use some kind of service.

      We have an older Brother printer, and they now insist, even though there’s a USB port, that you register with them to print over wifi. There is no driver for USB that I could find. There is an app that will let you print over USB, but it’s buggy and very limited in function.
