It sounds like you're out of Magenta ink. Go to this website for instruction on how to check your colors: One or more of my colors are not printing You will also find a link for your manual there so you can learn how to use the fax function.
It looks like the magenta print head nozzels are blocked.
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles. If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive. It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.
Well, either your print settings have it set to print in a color model that is not the native one (I can get this from CUPS drivers by picking KMCY instead of CMYK, among others) or it is confused enough to need Brother's initializing tool (program, I mean) to get it sorted out. Try de-weirding your settings first, then double-check the print dialog's settings when you retry. Nobody loves magenta-on-white for print.
Yes missing the magenta ink will cause it not to print. This is because its a color inkjet machine that uses one printer head for all four inks, so when one of them go empty you will need to replace that one for it to work.
If you have used generic ink the head is clogged and cant be cleaned anymore.
Last chance is to use original brother ink which has cleaning fluids within the ink. Run the cleaning procedure twice and simply print 10 PAGES afterwards. Wait A DAY AND TRY TO PRINT IN MAG AGAIN:
If there will be no mag. the ph is definitley clogged and needs replacement.
