Any other suggestions? by unknown on Jun 8, 2009 at 2:39pm brother mfc 420cn manual Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 Wooohoo! It worked! Electrical tape over the clear side of the cartridge (the entire way down) now tells the software it's full on ink. by unknown on Jul 4, 2009 at 12:04am Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 Works Like a charm, The company Brother said, cheaper to buy new printer than take it to be repaired. Glad I checked this site first, however did not have black electrical tape, used white. Seems you just need to cover float line with whatever color, so it can not be detected.Remember to cover line from top to where middle ridge stops so it thinks its full.Hope this helps. by fixitman4 on Apr 14, 2010 at 8:21am Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 Changed cyan cartridge, and get "no cartridge" - tried the tape trick, does not work - help! by ZanneStA on Apr 29, 2010 at 8:02am Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 I took out the black ink and rotated around until the ink dispersed everywhere inside.

pages (mostly 'photocopies') and when I take out the cartridges they ALL show at least 1/3 brother mfc 420cn driver download windows 7 full in the viewport of the cartridge (and 'slosh' when shaken [gently]).Any ideas on what's going on, and more importantly, how I can brother mfc 420cn printing blank pages fix it - short of replacing half full cartridges?Thanks in advanceflashfletch Respond to this 1 I have a Brother MFC-420CN, the one with four colors. All of the colors, Black, Yellow, Blue, are fine, except I received a http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/posts/53251 LED notice that the Magenta was “NEAR EMPTY” (which it was not). I replaced it with a brand new cartridge, and now the LED message reads, “NO CARTRIDGE". I even went and purchased another brand new Magenta cartridge thinking that the other was defected, and this one - same thing. I just cannot get this LED display or the Brother machine to READ that there is a new cartridge in there. I called an authorized dealer, http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/posts/56261 and he told me it may be the sensor...and to fix it, repair costs begins at $55.00+parts. I have unplugged the printer, turned it on/off, took all the cartridges out, then placed them all back in following the LED instructions, then answered YES when LED asked if it was replaced...I have even placed the wrong color cartridge into the Magenta slot, and it still does not read that there is a cartridge in there. Please advise soonest.

You can no longer see the ink levels, but that didn't matter anyway, as it was incorrect before! - nintendo1889 0 http://welcome.solutions.brother.com by Anonymous on May 27, 2008 at 2:21pm Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 the machine won't remove all the ink from the cart to avoid sucking up air in the print head , if it says emptry , u will have to repalce the cart with New ink ( preferable Brother inks) to reset the error, this machine is design to shut down if one or mnore carts are empty! by unknown on May 27, 2008 at 2:44pm
