This happens all the time, the printer warms up and prints a page or two then stops with the "system initialize" message displaying. The printer has to be turned off in order to get rid of the message. Basically, the printer is broken and can't be used even though it hasn't been used all that much. FWIW, some of the toner cartridges are not original Samsung products - if that might mean anything.

For starters remember this is not meant to be a PHOTO Printer, I am guessing the Spearing is because Glossy paper does not hold the toner like Regular paper or at least until it is fused. I am a technitiian and i also own this printer.

Hi
Try and reset the Brother printer, Open the front cover of the Brother HL-2040 and leave open while completing the following steps:
1. Open the Front cover
2. Press and hold the GO button
3. Power ON the printer while continuing to hold the GO button
4. Once the 3 LED's are lit, release the GO button
5. Press the GO button 2 times. This will cause the LED's to light solid
6. With the LED's lit solid, press the GO button 5 times
7. Toner Life End will then reset
8. Close the front cover.
Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.
