-   I have the same problem...
I did manage to get it reset once to read near empty and the printer at least worked. (got into the maintenance mode {hold the set button down, and unplug the printer ac cord, then plug it back in} and type in 77 (prints the printer log, which came out in blue ink at that time, then tried the maintenance cleaning menu 76, and I got the print out in black ink now, and when i returned from maintenance mode {key in 99} the printer now set near empty and was now unuseable.)

Then I made the mistake and called Brothers support to see if I could get the printer to at least acknowledge that these were new ink cartridges (I had foolishly bought a complete set of cartridges thinking that my old non-empty cartridges were the reasons for the error) and we ended up trying a print cleaning, which work, but the tech thought that the maintenance cleaning mode uses tons of ink and he suggested that now my cartridges were truly close to be empty. I doubted that very much, but to humor him I open up the cover and remove each cartridge and yes there was consumption but they were all over 3/4 full. Unfortunately once I replace the cartridges I ended up back with the same initial error, No cartridges !!!! and can't for the life of me get it back to a near empty ink message again.

Any one have any ideas?-   dgagnon

-   after printing just a few times, inks needed changing, and after being changed error message won't go away: "Ink Empty Cyan. Replace Ink".

Moreover, in the meantime, even simple black printing cannot be done!?? -   akwarium99
