How do I connect MFC-7440N with my laptop. I need to print. Please help. Thanks

Please consult the service manual.

The MFC-7440N is a mono (i.e. black toner only) laser printer, so it has no colour printing capability.

For crying out loud.

The "blotch" is caused by damage to the drum or to the toner fusing roller.

If the "blotch" is loose toner (in other words you can smear it) then the fuser roller is damaged and that assembly needs to be replaced.

If the "blotch" is fused (in other words you cannot smear it around) then the drum is damaged and that assembly needs to be replaced.

The original MSRP for the Brother MFC-7440n in 2008 was $429 (US) / 213 pounds [FixYa couldn't handle the pound sign!! =8-) ] (UK) / $499 (AU). The present street value is about $199 according to Brother ( http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelCompare/4/MFC7440N_MFC7460DN#.UXBKKKLq3yA ).


A drum unit is $80 (Amazon) or $115 (Staples).

That same $200 could get you a Canon Pixma MX-922 (Canon http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/office_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mx922). Inkjet? Yes. But fast. Airprint. 2-sided ADF and copying. Auto-duplexing. CD/DVD disc printing. Frankly, if I didn't already have an Epson 835, I would buy this one. My old Canon 820 still chugs along as beautifully as the day I got it (about a zillion years ago).

For $50 more you can get a top-rated laser, their imageCLASS MF4880dw (though oddly, without Airprint - for Airprint in a Canon laser, you have to step up to the big boy: the imageCLASS MF8580Cdw).

Well. Have fun!

Hi, Check the power connections.Disconnect the printer and the pc from power and then reconnect again. Check for paper jams in the paper paths and remove any stuck papers. You may also check cartridges status. Change any dry/damaged cartridges. Hope this helps.Thanks!

might need to replace the drum

Before you start, ensure you have a USB cable to connect the printer to the pc.

Use the above link to download the necessary software drivers to run the printer, scanner and fax. Select your operating system.

Late, but still, someone maybe appreciate this solution. CC3 creates files,
TWAIN.LOG,
Twain001.Mtx,
Twunk001.MTX,
Twunk002.MTX
in System TEMP folder after scanning, but don't delete them. So, if you are using multiple user accounts you may face this weard problem.
Hope it helps.

Excellent question. Wish I had the answer. I have the same problem with the MFC-7440N. I hook up my old HL 1240 and it prints them fine, so I now use two printers - one for envelopes and one for normal printing. I contacted Brothers and was told that it was not the printer, but the Application. If so, then why does my old Brothers printer work? They do not have the answer.

The display msg means that there are a few faxes in storage and they just need to be printed from the memory:
