I contacted Brother today for help with my MFC-240C, which I have owned for many years. The printer does not print black properly, but it prints the other 3 colors well. They led me through the normal cleaning steps (which I had already done), concluded that my after-market ink supply was probably the problem, and sent me on my way. 4 minutes later a nice Brother representative called me and offered a replacement printer, more modern than my old 240C! Wow! Those Brother people really take their reliability issues to heart!

Try it! I bet they have some more replacement printers !

MFC-795cw: not printing black.

Did not have the same out come with the brothers customer service. After going through all the trouble shooting stuff and using all my ink on a cleaning in maintenance mode. He said he would email me a repair shop so I could get an estimate. No replacement/repairs free of charge for me. Said the repairs may cost as much as the original purchase price. Time to look for a new printer. Wasted $40 in ink just so i can be told I'll waste another 60-100 in repairs. Good times.

I had bought a spare MFC 495 cw because it was on sale and thought I would use it when my old printer died well it sat for a couple years brand new never used and then I tried it and no black printing this is right of the box brand new. I did multiple cleanings called support and explained what happened and basically no assistance other than wasting more ink with the tech support woman. In the end it still does not print black and no advice or help from brother to fix this. Last time I buy a brother, because they could care less I even offered to send it back and they could check that it was never used, but they cared less. They may have helped people in the past but that is long gone. My friend bought one like this and new out of the box it had an error basically the error was saying it was dead, and he ended up with nothing just like me.

I have Brother MFC-J430W for years and when the Black ink ran out, I bought a new one.. Unfortunately, after several "Cleaning" (using Menu>Ink>Cleaning), it still print blank for the black ink. I tried to wipe the interior of the ink cartridge (holder) with baby wipes, and after the test print.. it worked!!!! Maybe the ink dried out, i'm not sure.. but I'm happy that I can now print using the black ink. :)
