  • Ink. I learned to fool it to print black and white when a color is out, the colors leak even though I never use them, by putting electrical tape over the clear window on the color cartridges. Brother knows something is up but still prints the black and white with that trick, a firmware update at one point prevented all of their printers from printing black and white if the color was out because they were concerned that you got the best possible service from your machine.

    But it just doesn’t print, idk, it takes and hour or two of factory resets and swearing and repeating actions to get it to print. Bought in maybe 2017.
