say whether it is simply worth the expense to attempt to fix the 'error 41' problem? I am hours away from taking my unit to the repair shop. So, is this the right move, or should I just drop it off at the dump and head for Staples or Office Max to get a replacement machine. (NOT Brother, of course. That's for sure!). Respond to this 1 Hey there all you poor people who are suffering the dreaded error 41!I work for Brother customer service (although not for much longer!) and I want to help all you guys who are being screwed by Brother's cheapness in not developing a decent printhead in the first place. To be honest I think with all the warranty http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/posts/22036 replacements and repairs it has cost them much more than the development costs! Anyway, here's the inside deal. I know "Big Brother" checks this forum and I don't care. You guys know you're in the wrong and you should be ashamed of the way you are treating your customers.Ok. As I'm sure you're all aware error 41 is a problem that affects a LOT of Brother inkjet printers. It basically means the printhead is screwed and needs replacing. Despite what they say (and what they tell http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/posts/25785 us to tell you guys!) it is a huge problem, and they know this. The good news is they have extended the warranty on it to 24 months by purchase date or to 30 months by your serial number. Additionally if you have had any warranty repair or exchanging for whatever issue you have another 6 months extension on the warranty coverage. My personal opinion is that this is not good enough. They know it is a problem and should cover anyone who has this problem, no matter the age of the machine. If your machine is out of warranty it's gonna cost you about $30 for the printhead and $80 for the repair... Brother should pay this but of course they don't. However, if you kick up a fuss and ask to speak to a supervisor. They will not cover your repair BUT they will send you out the equivalent in ink!!! Better than nothing but not good enough in my opinion. They screw up... they should fix it.Some more advice to anyone who has one of these machines and hasn't had the error yet. Call in and pretend you do. They don't ask any questions... they'll set you up for a no charge repair straight away. Get yourself their new printhead put in. I actually think the new ones they've designed are a lot more reliable and you might as well cover yourself because I'd estimate about 50\% of the units suffer this problem.A couple more things. This problem is still there

My advice is to take it to a Brother service centre brother mfc 4420c while it is under warranty. If it's out of warranty they are usually a throw away job. Anonymous 24 August 2004 03:12:36 Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?) Hi, Illkey, I am under the impression that you are very familiar with Brother products. I have a Brother mfc 8500 All-in-one. It works very well. I see one problem. It cannot print "multiple copies" of Adobe Pagemaker (v. 7.01) files (pmd). Regardless of how many copies I click, it only prints out one set. What could be wrong on this? Satoshi
