Over many years, I've often read comments on this forum from people assuming that just because they haven't heard any push back or negative feedback, that whatever they're doing is OK. These days, there ARE companies that keep track and issue "defects" for mistakes, but historically, that's an aberration. Those companies are also the ones who try to get away with paying as little as possible, so their business models are different across the board.
Scuttlebutt I've heard is that most other companies don't consider it worth their time to bother calling the notary back - unless the error is significant enough for them to request the notary go back out to the signer. With lots of stuff, they can just find a way to fix it on their own, so they do - and then make a note to never call that notary again or at least push them down the list, depending on the severity of whatever the issue is...
So while you might be getting away with this now during a time when business is way up, you never know what damage you might be doing to your long-term potential and reputation. So if you plan to continue in this business for a while, I recommend getting your printer situation straightened up sooner rather than later.
BTW, some of us have had good luck in the past with gently used and/or refurbished quality printers from eBay (chosen carefully from vendors with lots of ratings & top notch reputation). For example, you may be able to get a fast HP dual tray workgroup printer originally worth $1K - $3K & up new, for the same price as a new Brother printer that's not designed for nearly the same print volume. (Compare "monthly duty cycle" stats - although they may not be calculated on the same assumptions.) That's my bias. I'm sure you know others prefer Brother, but then you probably already have your own preferences by now. 
Best of luck with whatever you decide.
