![]() I found the answer here:, and it worked. where I found out how to reset my printer so that it thinks my cartridges are still fine. And at more than $100 each (I have five in the machine), replacing cartridges every few months is not cheap. There’s plenty of toner left in the cartridges (since when do I fully print a page as I would if I was printing photos every time?). My Brother MFC 9210CN (and more recently, my MFC 9330CDW) multifunction laser printer warns me when it decides the toner is running low, and if I don’t replace the toner (either black only or all FOUR colour cartridges at once) within a time/usage frame it considers acceptable, it locks me out from printing by beeping a lot, displaying a ‘Replace toner now’ message on the printer and my computer screen, AND by physically NOT printing my print jobs. How they gauge when the toner needs replacing varies by manufacturer too - some alert you based on number of pages printed (assuming that you are printing an entire page of solid toner every time), others use a laser beam through a hole in the printer cartridge (true! - see this video: ), and still others by means I’m not aware of. They do this by various means typically beeps, popup screens, warning messages on the display panel of the printer etc. Printer companies want you to buy their toner, and they want you to replace that toner long before it runs out.
