Printer will not recognize my new ink cartridge???
Something that has worked for some Brother owners to get cartridges recognised.
1. With your MFC powered up, open it up and remove the cartridge you are
having a problem with, then close the MFC, leaving it powered up. It
should report that there is no cartridge in the machine.
Still
with the MFC powered up, open it up and reinsert the ink cartridge,
then close the MFC. It should either ask if you have replaced a
cartridge or go into its cleaning mode.
Answer "yes" to "have you replaced cartridge?" and it should either "print" or "clean" and then "print".
