I did it, but eventually it didn’t. So I gave in and replaced the toner.
I got nearly 3k prints from the starter cartridge, so not bad. My replacement should get like 25k. Given that I had the original for ~8 years, I don’t think I’ll ever need a B&W printer ever again.
Probably. I had to enter a special code, which overrode the block on printing, and that worked for a few hundred prints. But then I couldn’t override it anymore.
My Brother was giving a toner end of life message and refusing to print.
I took the toner end cap off via two screws and reset the gear toggle, and now it prints again.
Cool story.
There’s a menu setting to turn that off
It would be fun if there was a menu setting called “turn shitshow off”.
Yea, but nah. Went through all that no luck.
Resetting the gear toggle fixed it, though.

Same here. You need to reset the gear under the toner end cover.
Pop the end cover via two or three screws, then rotate the white gear back to 12 o’clock
Ah. I’ll try to remember that when my toner goes out again in like 10 years.
Try it on the old toner if you can fish it out of the trash
Already sent it in to be recycled. Thanks though. :(
Ah ok mine is newer. I just run the cartridges dry after turning that option off.
