Title: Things keep on breaking :-(
Post by: ssfc72 on April 29, 2026, 12:00:17 PM
So not only did I have to install new updated Linux Distros on my 2 notebook computers, but now my Brother printer-scanner has quit.

I went to print out something yesterday and the printer said the the yellow print cartridge was not seated.
I followed the steps shown on the display and  removed the cartridge, then powered off the printer for 5 minutes and re-installed the yellow cartridge and was still told that the yellow cartridge was not seated.

So, ok I only had a black text document to print, so I set print job to just print in black.
The Brother printer still said the yellow cartridge was not seated and refused to print the black text document. Grrrrr.

That is ridiculous that the Brother printer would not print a black text document that I set to use only black ink.

The modern world is not designed to make sense. It's designed to move money to the wealthy and sell product.

Sorry about your problem.
