Question 1

Does the printer come with toner?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it comes with a "starter" toner cartridge, rated at 700 pages ... but, there's a little trick I learned, that when the printer stops printing, indicating that it is out of toner, I do this simple work-around ... leaving the printer turned on right where it stopped, you simply press the green "Go" button 7 times ... it will then start up printing where it left off ... I did this with my starter cartridge and got another 650 pages before the toner started fading ... so, all together I was able to get about 1,400 full pages out of the starter toner ... I also use this trick on a regular replacement toner cartridge when it says it's out of toner and quits printing ... works like a charm and saves me quite a bit of money!

Question 2

On average how many prints will I get out of this thing?

Accepted Answer

I've had a two of these 2300 series printers. 1 - 2340 and 1 -2350. Then the first 2350 would not power up and I was near the 1 year warranty. I shipped it back and they replaced it which I appreciated. I always used toners I found on Amazon that were significantly cheaper than Brothers and never had a problem with the 2340. In these later printers (2350) I think  they have added stuff to preclude you from using non-brother toner cartridges. The one I have now keeps insisting on a new toner cartridge and I used the Brother Toner Cartridge they included in the replacement. I've been trying every kind of trick I can think of and research to no avail. These were great printers but if you've got to pay over $100 for a long life Toner that you can get for $20 elsewhere - that's just wrong. I think the truth is like the old Gillette Razor Blades. They would just about "give you" the razor handle mechanism if they could lock you in for the blades which is where they make their profits. I'll just buy another of these and try to use 3rd party toners and unfortunately throw the damn thing away.

Question 3

Does anyone know how to reset the drum count? I havent been able to find this info online.

Accepted Answer

1.  Make sure that the front cover is open.  2.  Press and hold Go for about four seconds until all of the LEDs light up.  Once all LEDs are lit, release Go.  3.  Close the front cover.  4.  Make sure the Drum LED is now off.

Question 4

If I connect the USB cable to my wireless router, can I print wirelessly?  ...Also, any problem with using it with a newer Mac?

Accepted Answer

yes it will work with a new mac OS x.14 Mojave.. but instillation is tricky, must connect with printer powered on first, you can get the driver and software on line from Brother for Mojave, and here are installation instructions https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/52531/track/AvNZzAolDv8S~WcbGiAe~yL3O4sqZC75Mv~U~zj~PP8d
