How can I check how much toner is remaining on my Mac? When I try to check the level like my other printers, it says, "Information Not Available".

You need to have the "Samsung Easy Printer Manager" installed for your Mac. You may need to reinstall the driver/software for your printer. DO NOT USE the install disc that came with your printer, it is more than likely out of date. Find software update through your Mac with software updates.

Is anyone out there a Macbook Pro owner with this issue? I've bought the ink and refilled my cartridges but I can't figure out how to reset them. I would love your help if you know the answer... (I'm about to spend $29 to buy a gadget that resets the chips but who knows if that's another crazy scheme!)Thanks, Samantha B

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.

Hey Marion: When you print your document, (File, Print) you should see a "properties" button, where those can be found... Sometimes the program may have a "Toner Saver" or "EconoMode" box you can check. Or you can change the print quality to a lower setting. Explore the tabs at the top after you click properties, there is all kinds of useful and sometimes fun stuff in there. Good Luck!

I am not sure, I am an user not the seller. Guess it might be some problems with the chip, that is how the computer recognize your toner.

Check the new toner make sure it's installed correctly and full. I always put a piece of black tape over the sensor so I don't get that warning when it's still half full. Then I would turn the power off, unplug it for a minute or 2. Then plug it in and follow the reset instructions for that printer. They're available on line.

Hi Sylvia, watch this video "www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaD1Vy8toP0" , it is much easier than me trying to explain to you how to do it, it is pretty simple, by the way, I installed the toner for a few months now and it works great, you don't need to do anything after you installed the toner and power back on, the low toner message will no longer come on, good luck!

Well, I'm still using the original cartridges that it shipped with. The printer has a web page interface where it shows all of the statistics as well as configuration options, etc. Right now it tells me I've printed a total of 949 pages (499 Color, 450 B&W). Images Count Total: 2125 (Cyan: 433: Magenta: 433 Yellow: 317 Black: 942). Drum Count: 949. The toners for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black are all showing 60% of full. I've used %40 of all toners.

I had a similar experience once. My printer showed that my toner was getting low so I ordered a cartridge but did not need to do the actual replacement for about 2-3 months. It worked perfectly when I installed it without any loss of print quality. I had stored in in a cool place, unopened. This is just my experience, I don't know what Brother recommends as optimal storage time.

My printer is different(dcp-7065). When I installed, I used the old cartridge holder and only replace the toner cartridge. There is a small paper in front of cartridge head(printing), make sure you pull it out. Thanks.

Good info on holding down the green key for about 4 sec to get the page count.Never looked at this before. My very old 1022 printed 15,220 pages... so far ... and still going strong.Here is my data point. I get about 2,000 pages per LD brand toner cartridge.

That's not a lot of info, but if you're using a Mac, I found a really helpful link for getting the best driver installed. Solved all of my little problems.http://www.macworld.com/article/2684309/the-trick-to-finding-the-right-printer-driver-for-your-mac.htmlHope this helps you.

Toner carts are individual. The printer will continue printing even when the carts are 'empty' if you acknowledge the periodical nag messages. My experience has been that the carts show empty long before they are completely dry.

I'm not well versed with Macs, but I have a fairly new MacBook pro and just updated to the newest operating system. Printer works fine, no issues.

When ever I see white blotches, I believe the toner is running out. However, to be sure, you should take the cartridge and shake it up and down, sideways, etc. This will distribute the toner even again, and then if it happens, again real soon, you know that you are running out of toner.
