MFC-J4410DW: Toestel wil niet meer opstarten.

Sat, 01 Jun 2024 05:52:43 -0700

Mijn toestel wil niet meer opstarten en werkt voordien uitstekend. Ik heb al alle tips op het net geprobeerd (My Brother Printer EMFC-J4510DW won't turn on) maar ik krijg hem niet meer aan de praat.

Wie kan mij helpen?

Brother Printer: Brother printer pakt de zwarttoner niet

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 03:06:23 -0700

De Brother laserprinter DCP902CDW geeft bij het inbrengen van zowel een nieuwe zwarte cartridge als bij de bijna lege oude zwart cartridge steeds de foutmelding. OPEN DE KLEP EN VERVANG DE ZWART CARTRIDGE. Ook uitzetten, herstarten e.d. geven geen ander resultaat.

Brother Printer: hl--l2395dw no power after surge

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 20:20:37 -0700

Sorry used generic device name device not found. After a home electrical repair (household) my printer does not power up. The plug is not removable so that's not something i can swap. device does not power up on outlets that are proven good. Is there a component (fuse or power supply that can be swapped to fix this printer?

Just for background my device was connected to the outlet when the electriction "tested" turning on power.

Brother MFCL2700: Printer won't stay connected to network, drops constantly!

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 07:23:22 -0700

I bought this printer a year ago. Since getting a new modem/router, the printer WILL NOT stay connected to my wifi. I am able to successfully configure it and it works for an hour or so but the next day it displays an error message of "check connection".

I am beyond frustrated and I refuse to reset it up each and every time I have to print. I called Brother and their response was that the printer needs to be within three to five feet of the router (???!?!?). They said that the printers are "very sensitive" yet it's a "wifi issue, not a printer issue".

I never would have spent $150 for a wifi printer that needs to be literally next to my modem to work. I may as well have it wired directly. I have a small condo (1000 square feet) and the printer is in the room next to where my modem is located. It's maybe twenty or thirty feet away. There is no solid wall separating the two rooms--there's a large double doorway between them.

I'm so frustrated and upset that something so new and not inexpensive is useless. Do I have any options to keep the machine from constantly dropping the connection? I read somewhere else about "fixing" the IP address but before I mess with that want to make sure that is the right thing to do. Thanks!

Brother Printer: Exit Fingers (Flaps over rollers near page exit) vibrates violently

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 02:32:26 -0700

I inherited a Brother HL-L2351DW printer recently from a cousin who was moving to another state. The printer was barely used and had only 80 pages in the page count. For a few months the printer worked just fine but one day suddenly the right exit finger (that plastic flap over the rollers from where the page comes out) started making a loud noise. On closer inspection i saw it was getting hit by the gears that push the paper out. The left side exit finger on the same printer on the same assembly doesnt even move while this one violently flaps as if its trying to break away. Anyone faced similar issues with their Brother printers and managed to fix it?

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 03:53:23 -0700

This printer is about 3yrs. old. I've tried all the cleaning tips the manual suggests, still nothing.

Is there anyone who has a tip and or trick to fixing this? I've replaced the black cartridge several times.

I bought a case of ink for the printer so I'd like to be able to use it up!! Thanks.

Brother Printer: Scan unable AF error message

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:42:33 -0700

Tried using the scan feature. Printer locked up and will not allow me to use the flat bad or AF feature for either scan or copy. Brother wants me to send it back but I am out of the US with the printer. Does allow printing from my computer, after I manually 'exit' the scan or copy mode via the upper right corner 'stop/exit' button.

Brother Printer: How to Replace Toner in a Brother Printer?

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:58:44 -0700

Hey everyone,

My Brother printer is showing low toner, I've never replaced one of those before. Any warnings, precautions or things I need to do when changing it? Should I reset anything after the replacement?

Thanks!

Brother Printer: Brother MFC-L3750CDW touchpad not responsive in some areas

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:59:54 -0700

I don’t know how long ago, maybe two years ago, I accidentally knocked over a wax warmer and spilled wax onto the touch screen of my Brother MFCL3750-CDW printer. I tried to clean it up as best as I could see, and the touch screen worked but it does not respond at all in some areas. There’s probably some dried wax stuck inside the screen. Is it possible I can just replace a part and it would work? I took apart some of it using the L3770-CDW guide which was a bit different but still similar. I have no experience with these things.

Brother Printer: Brother MFC-L3750CDW - rear paper rollers grinding

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 22:15:28 -0700

My relatively new Brother MFC-L3750CDW has developed a fault where the upper rear paper feed rollers are grinding noisily. It looks as if some teeth on the plastic gears at the side have broken off or worn down (see photo). Does anyone know if this is a relatively easy fix and how to do it? I’ve tried taking the side panels off, but the gears I need to access look like a nightmare to get to. Thanks!

Brother Printer: HL-2280DW paper feed not working

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:50:32 -0700

I have a Brother 2280DW workhorse of a printer. I love the wireless/scanning/duplexing features, but am wondering if this problem is fixable.

The paper starts to feed and then never quite gets grabbed coming out of the paper tray. It doesn't jam, it just doesn't feed. When I feed manually, the printer works fine, but that is a royal pain!

I have tried cleaning all the rollers underneath - in back and front.

Other suggestions?
