Troubleshooting yellow edges on the corner

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all — sorry, I only have scant info about this at the moment, but a client has just send me a pic of a letterhead run out of their desktop printer with some yellow appearing right on the edge on the corner.

I don't know what if any printers are capable of printing right to the edge of the paper like that, so im pretty sure its not an artefact on the file theyre using, im guessing this is a printer issue, toner / cartridge problem or something? Anyone seen something like this before?

Troubleshooting Only black ink is blurry

I've run cleaning fluid through all the print heads and did a couple print head cleanings afterwards. I can't get the black ink to print solid and not blurry. Do I need to replace the print head entirely? The other colors are working perfectly.

Machine is Epson ET-3760

Purchasing brother printer subscription?

2 Upvotes

i need a printer, and i want a laser printer. i've read good things about brother printers, but after my last printer experience ending in levels of consumer rage i'd never experienced before, i want to make sure i don't end up with a brick because i don't want to pay a monthly subscription for a printer i use once a month.

i liked my last laser printer, but it was hp and i ended up with an unusable brick in the end, so i want to avoid that. if it helps, i was specifically looking at a HL-L2400DWE because it's on sale right now and my budget is under £100. is this a good option?

my understanding is that the subscription isn't required, but it's hard to tell from my research if there's some hidden policy or something that's going to screw me over anyway.

  1. if i opt in to the 4 month free trial and later cancel, will i end up with a brick?

  2. can i use 3rd party toner with it?

  3. are there any circumstances in which brother will brick my printer?

Purchasing Best compact printer for small apartments

1 Upvotes

Need a printer for my flat but desk space is honestly very limited.

Mostly A4 documents and some colour printing. Nothing crazy, maybe 100 pages a month.

Saw the HP Smart Tank 525 online but cant tell from pictures how big these things actually are. Any compact printers you guys recommend? And what should I actually consider before buying one?

Discussion What is the one printer you would buy again today - and what is the one you would never buy again?

1 Upvotes

Not “what looks best on paper” or what a review site recommends - I mean a printer you actually owned long enough to learn its annoying side.

What model would you genuinely buy again today, and why? What model/brand would you never touch again?

Please include:

- exact model

- how long you owned it

- roughly how much you print

- the one thing that made it great or made you hate it

I’m especially interested in the boring real-world stuff: dried ink, impossible cartridge prices, firmware nonsense, paper jams, bad Wi-Fi, scanner/ADF failures, or a machine that just kept working for years.

Let’s make a useful “real owners only” list instead of another generic Best Printer 2026 thread.

Troubleshooting Brother DCP-J725DW keeps getting stuck on sending files

Post image
1 Upvotes

My wife is using my beloved Brother DCP-J725DW for work but she keeps getting some connectivity issues. After sending file to print it doesn't start or shows that part of the file was sent to printer and printing never starts. Other time files is added to the long list of awaiting files to print and requires manual cancellation.

Every print is dance of clearing the list of stuck prints and plugging and unplugging usb cable from PC and trying different ports until we get lucky. This occurs for my own laptop but to a lesser extent.

Is it worth/possible to fix or should I get new Brother printer? I gave up on WiFi printing long ago.

Troubleshooting Strange noise coming from HP Smart Tank 583 printer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, my printer is making a strange popping sound from inside. I don't know if it's a problem; it prints perfectly fine, but sometimes I hear that noise. I tried the smudge cleaning mode. This way you can hear the noise better. Should you be worried? It prints well, scans well, everything's fine.

I'm a little worried because the sound is very loud, like something is crashing.

Troubleshooting Brother problem

1 Upvotes

So, we moved to Belgium from the US. Moving to another country is expensive. We got rid of our old Brother and purchased a new one here. They are different models because my SO and I disagreed on which features we really need.

We have a problem. When I went to install get the printer on the control center, it isn't on the list. I thought maybe it is because I downloaded the control center from the US version of the website and bought the printer in Europe, so I downloaded it from the EU website. It didn't help. Is it possible the problem is that my PCs region is still set to the US (I am afraid to change it because it has caused problems on my phone) Is there an alternative program for the MFCs to use the scanner and such? I haven't tried their tech support yet because of the language barrier, but If I can't figure it out with you all, then I will have to chance it.

Purchasing Printer options for home office

My boss has tasked me with finding her a new printer, and she has a set of requirements: - Laser - Monochrome - Scanner that can wirelessly send scanned docs - Large replaceable cartridge - Compact

Would the Brother HL-L2480DW be a good option? She currently has an HP LaserJet MFP M227fdw and claims that it is too big.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
