Is the only reason this printer won't print ABS plastic because it doesn't have a heated bed?

Correct. I have managed to get mine to make a small part that HAD to be ABS for tempurature reasons. I printed into a puddle of super glue ( a trick I found on the internet) and it worked, but it took a few tries. Lots of people have added a heated bed to their simples, and they print ABS just fine.

Doesn't matter which side (or both) of the paper you print on. Your printer needs to be capable of double sided printing or you know how to manually print double sided.

I have mine mounted in a E150 van. Some days it's 100 degrees in that van. Not one problem since I purched the printer. Would highly recommend.

What do you need a USB cable for? My printer works fine without one. I do have a problem getting the cartridges in quickly. Any ideas? I've had this about a year.

It does sound like you may need to buy a new printer then. SO SORRY!!! Hello from cold Minnesota!

I have a Cannon MG5320 printer that is capable of printing on a disc. No many printers do this.

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Big no, was purchased based on the description of a rear tray. But the printer does not have any.

I know what the original question is about - some printers do not allow you to print if any of the ink cartridge is out of ink. I have the same question - hopefully someone knows the answer for this specific printer.

No it is not safe to keep the cover on while the printer is on idle or printing. You couldn't print with it on as it would interfere with the copy discharge. The machine probably should be able to have air circulating while it is on due to heat buildup.

Always use a raft. Preheat your bed. While you are doing this, blow a hair dryer on the bed also. The dryer helps the bed reach a higher temperature. Once at the higher temp, the heating element on the bed seems to be able to maintain the higher temperature. Also, after you get the bed warmed up, make sure you keep the door closed to hold in as much heat as possible. I've never had a print fail to stick to the bed using this method. Hope it helps!

No, the printer needs special sheets of thermal paper, which Brother also sells. The main benefit is there is no need to use any ink cartridges.

I have this same printer, normal operation is very quiet, so you have a absolute problem. I've experienced some major plastic gear grinding noises that are very loud. What I found the solution to be was to open the rear paper jam panel and slam it shut a couple times. Drop the front panel down and just under the toner cartridges you'll see a small handle, bottom dead center. This pulls out the entire assembly holding all the toner packs in. Pull it out just a couple inches and slam it back in a couple times, then close the front door and carefully look at the top of the door making sure its even all the way across the top, if its off just slightly you don;t have that other part that holds all the toner pushed all the way in properly. Also pull the paper tray out and take extra care to make sure you're getting it pushed in properly. I don;t know which one of those things solved the problem, but by doing all of the above I no longer have the noise issue (severe noise at that) and now it prints and runs smooth and quiet.

we purchased a printer that is designed to print on blank " printable" discs... so as far as I know, you have to buy a specific dvd printer.

I have not used this printer, but I thought I would add that you MUST have the slightly more expensive "printable CD/DVD's" (you can't print on just any CD/DVD).

It couldnt work as a print server if it is a native. But you can install linux instead of native. Then you can construct print server
