I had the same problem. The first one I used only lasted about 500 pages, the second one would not work at all. I am using the last one now, and on about 400 pages.

Not sure what finally made the light go off...I took the toner out a few times and also restarted the printer a couple of times and suddenly the light went off and it has worked fine since

I had the same problem before so I did a search on YouTube.com for this particular item and it showed me how to go around it.

I do not have a definitive answer but are you sure it is installed perfectly in the carrier? I had some issues with fit. Remember, it is not a Brother-made product. Just a suggestion to reinsert and check the fit. GOOD LUCK.

You have to reset the toner sensor. You have to turn the printer off. While holding down the Go button turn the printer back on. All the buttons should light up. Then release the Go button and wait for the lights to all turn off. Then press the Go button twice then pause and then press the Go button five times and the low toner message should disappear. Hope this helps.

The red light blinking is low toner indicator. Make sure you removed the paper strip.

I've been buying OEM toner so can't help you on this one. The printer does not use a lot of toner, tho.

Just keep pulling them out and putting them back again. And power cycle your printer. It's a pain in the ass, but will likely work eventually.

Well, I took out the Color Ink and the printer just sits with an error message. A color ink cartridge must be in place. The only thing I can suggest is to let the color cartridge run out of ink, then choose a "faxable print" option in the program if it's available. You can try the greyscale option, but I don't know if the greys use the black (lighter) or if they use the color ink. If you already own this printer, play around with these options. If you HAVEN'T already bought this, try a different printer. If you do A LOT of printing, you may want to consider a LASER printer. The BLACK ONLY ones have become quite affordable and the toner roll lasts a very long time. Well, I took out the Color Ink and the printer just sits with an error message.

The solution suggested here fixed my problem: http://cowboy3398.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/brother-dcp-7065dn-keeps-asking-for-new-toner/

Yes, 99% of the time it's either the toner cart or the fuser that's included in the kit. It's possible something weird is going on like the power supply is going bad, but the kit is definitely the next thing to try...

The bars than hang down when you open the toner cartridges are actually LED lights. You may have bumped them when preparing your printer and removing the tape, etc. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe them off. That is what worked for me.

I'd say you're probably in the 3-5% group of defective toner cartridges.The failure rate on a name brand toner is around 1%, so 1 in every 100 or so fail, leave streaks on the page, or will not work. The failure rate in remanufactured cartridges increases that rate to 1 in every 20-35 cartridges or so.I'd return it, and either ask for a replacement or a refund.

You should take paper sticking side of toner off or cut it first. I fixed same problem by doing this.

I don't think so. I've ordered a new cartridge and kept it in the box, unopened, for 3 maybe 4 weeks before using it...never had a problem with the toner.

brother won't do anything to help.I had just brought my toner from amazon ,it streaked on the right side of the page. I called brother and they told to mail it back to them and they would send postage(which that did not)they sent back the same one back,I again called them back , they said it was empty and would not replace it .I showed that I just got it and if it was empty that is the way they packed. it they wouldn't do anything about it. so a total loss.

no, for there is there is no manual turning off of the error lights, off is only by detection. back to original question: yes, if the generic toner is installed (seated) correctly into the drum unit, the lights will turn off. take the entire drum unit with toner cartridge out of the unit. pull them apart and reset them together. (you can test this with the original toner cartridge to be sure the error light is not malfunctioning) the toner error light only detects low toner not the cartridge type. be sure to rock the generic toner cartridge back and forth a few times to disperse the toner. then slide the corona wire cleaner (green tap on top cartridge) back and forth to clean corona. provided you have a quality generic unit with new parts the printer should print. also verify all tape on new cartridge has been removed.

I had the same exact thing happen, what you have to do is tap the side of the cartridge to loosen it up and just keep inserting and pulling it out until the red light goes away. I literally had the same problem, took me a good 8-10 minutes to get it to work, but after I got it working I started printing and the quality was excellent. You just gotta get past that hump, but yes the toner does work and works great!

Make sure the label that says "remove before lighting" has been removed. Keep the button held down for 5-10 seconds and you should be good

I think so. Have you tried adding toner? it seems very simple like cut a hole with circle bit provided, pour in toner and cover with tape also provided. I'll do that next time. Still if this cartridge works, it is easier. I've needed to take my new out and shake it hard once. goog luck K
