I tried the trick of covering the portholes of my toner cartridge. No change--the printer would not print. I tried darker tape, taping both portholes, coloring the dark tape darker with a black Sharpie, every permutation and combination that I could think of. No printing. And I had an emergency. It is enraging that the printer would simply stop; that's profoundly unfair, and I will buy another printer, NOT a Brother. It's too bad. I have purchased many of them for business use in different settings and in different countries and will now advise everyone to switch. Great printer; idiot business practices re the toner cartridges. I appreciate the porthole tip and am glad it works for others. Maybe I shook my cartridge more than most folks and really don't have any toner left. Nevertheless, HP laserjets and every other printer I have ever used in my long business career work the same way. They print lighter and lighter until you decide for yourself that you must install a new toner cartridge. I refuse to have my printer crippled because the company decided for me that I must purchase a new cartridge. It's evil.

What more can I say... OH...it was also HALF the price it would have been had I went to a store and bought it, and they get delivered right to my door.

I decided to spend a little extra money to buy directly from Amazon -- not from one of the stores that sells through Amazon -- to make sure that I was actually buying a REAL Brother toner cartridge. Sadly, Amazon sent me a knockoff refurbished cartridge that didn't even make it to 2000 copies. Don't let Amazon's picture of the Brother TN-350 box fool you, they may send you a knockoff.
