my HL-5250DN Brother printer has been working perfectly on a Bonjour network with Tiger (Mac software). I upgraded to Leopard, and it will print one page ok, then locks up when trying to print anything more. I have to delete the printer, then add a new printer. Then it will print one more page, then lock up. Any ideas
-   HP P1006 printer shows same problem - fails on Bonjour, fails on MAC, works fine when on Dell PC without Bonjour. MAC alway fails, both on Bonjour or not. Must reset MAC print queue manually, then print next doc. All sfw and drivers have been deleted and reloaded and up to latest level. MAC says HP problem and go back to them, yet works on Dell. After pressuring them MAC finally said they know of "some" problems with Bonjour not working "sometimes". MAC refused to even look at the Dell PC side not working with Bonjour - they say "not their problem". So much for the purchased MAC warranty. .
Printer was replaced by HP out of their kindness to help resolve. New one works same way.
I believe it started after a MAC Leopard software update about the middle of December 2008 but can't prove the actual time. But it used to work on MAC Leopard without Bonjour, now it doesn't. It will be cheaper for me to buy another printer instead of trying anymore to get Bonjour working.

-   I have not been able to successfully 'add a printer' for an HL-5250dn connected to my wireless access point. This setup printed fine under Tiger.-   mec31
Brother is totally fucked up under Leopard, found so far no chance to fix it. Brother's own printer drivers are 10.4 only -- lame

- On Leopard, I have it configured as IPP printer via TCP/IP -- download Brothers remote printing console from the support site (select ALL software, OS 10.5) ... sometimes it finds the printer, sometimes not; if not: restart your printer; if still not resetting the network card might help (as per http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/as/sg/en/faq/faq/000000/000100/000005/faq000105_009.html?reg=as&c=sg&lang=en&prod=hl2070n_all)

- another sleep deprived user tells us at <http://exilejedi.livejournal.com/205600.html> to revert back to TCP/IP printing, but :
the 5070N will not print correctly using Bonjour under 10.5. You want the CUPS driver and the "HP Jetdirect - Socket" protocol. Then poof! It's all happy again same holds for the 5250DN ... so I repeat Brother=LAME ... but now we know how to survive their incompetence

I have exactly the same symptoms, with my canon mp600, however when I print directly from the printer via the intergral memory card reader it works fine, suggesting a SW/driver issue rather than a hardware issue.

After clearing a paper jam, I put the paper tray back in and when the printer resets, I get a grinding of gears on the left side. I thought I had to do with damage to my toner/drum, so I replaced both with new units and when I turn it on, the same grinding noise. It sounds like it is trying to cycle through but gears are stuck? I am having the same problem, I read through other troubleshooting solutions and tried not only unplugging the device but unplugging the USB cord also, when I do that and turn it back on, the status light is green and the drum light flashes. Then once I try to print the grinding noise starts, nothing prints and the status light turns red and the paper light flashes. So I don't know if I'm having trouble with the drum, or something else. There is no paper stuck I have taken apart everything I can and checked and cleaned everything!

Yellow warning light flashes, indicating a paper jam. Checked for jam but there was none. Brother tech support said was a bad sensor. Makes clicking noise when trying to print, then the yellow light comes on. Can I disable this sensor? The repair of this problem costs almost as much as a new unit.
