    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.

        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.

          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
