Brother Ink and Toner

What toner do I need for my Brother printer?

To get the name of your printer's toner cartridge, make sure your printer is powered on, then pull out the toner and drum assembly unit. The toner cartridge name should be on the sticker label of each of your toner cartridges. Usually all cartridges have one cartridge name with a color initial extension (for example: LC3013BK, LC3013C, LC3013M, LC3013Y). All Brother printers work with lower cost aftermarket or third-party toner cartridge replacements just as well as original Brother cartridges. Lots of customers have used our aftermarket toner cartridges and made the switch from very expensive Brother toner cartridges. Aftermarket toner cartridge replacements by LD replacements perform just as well as original Brother cartridges. They print the same number of pages (some customers have actually reviewed LD cartridges to print more pages) and deliver the same print quality.

Brother Printer Troubleshooting

Why is my Brother printer not printing?

There may be a couple of reasons why your Brother printer stopped printing or is offline. Some of the possible reasons are it may have lost its wi-fi connection, your printer driver might be outdated, your brother printer is out of toner or the drum has reached the end of its life, or it could also be that your printer settings have changed. Here are ways on how to address each problem.

First thing to check for is if your printer is powered on. Check if the lights or the LCD display are on. If they are not, this could be the reason why your printer is offline.

Otherwise, next thing to check is if your printer's LCD is displaying an error message such as paper jam or if your printer cartridge is running empty. Fix the paper jam or replace your cartridge to remedy these errors.

If not, the next thing to check is if your printer is connected to your computer. If using, make sure the ethernet cable or the USB cable is properly connected to your computer. If you're connected via a wireless connection, print the network configuration page from your printer to check if the IP address matches with your computer's.

Next thing to check for is if your printer is set as the default printer. If it isn't, set it as the default printer and see if you're able to print. If it already is, check the printer queue and clear it by canceling all pending print jobs.

Next possible issue to check is your printer's driver. See if your printer's driver is obsolete and needs an update. If it does, download the latest driver and install it.

Otherwise, check if your printer is connected to the wi-fi.
