You will need to have the print head replaced. This is a common problem with this model and Brother will cover the cost to repair it. Call Brother at 1-877-276-8437 and tell them your machine is "missing black" on all prints and copies and they will tell you what to do next.

My Lexmark C543DN prints with yellow streaksprinter, as you'll see...

Clean the drums on the cyan and magenta developer units with alcohol on a cotton ball. Swipe the damped cotton balls left and right and let it dry, then turn the drum about 20 degrees and repeat until you have cleaned the entire drum. Keep the units out of direct bright light and sunlight. You may also need to clean the transfer belt (black belt inside the front hatch) and rotate that to ensure clean all round. Try your print again.

"Banding" on Prints

Do a thorough manual cleaning of printerheads (where the cartridges sit). Many printers are notorious for clogged nozzles and the ink dries on he prinheads until it becomes a bandind issue or ladders appear, smudges too. Use a proper cleaning solution and cotton buds, until most colour is gone off cotton buds. Reinsert cartridges and try again.

Printer does not print correctly.

It sounds like you have a clogged printerhead without seeing test page it is always abasic guide. I would thoroughly manually clean all cartridge printheads (whether on the cartridge or the unit) with cotton buds and proper cleaning solution. Try and print once you reset your ink levels. post back if no help.
