I love this printer overall, but when I am making copies on the glass, the machine takes at least 10 seconds to reset. Any solutions?

None that I know of. But, it's not that important to me. I suggest you contact Brother tech support.

I have the same problem with this printer. Compared to the HP I used to have, it runs through ink, but otherwise I really like the printer. In the end, though, it's going to cost me a lot more to keep using this printer and buying all the ink I'll need to. So does anyone have a recommendation for a different all-in-one printer that doesn't use ink as fast as the 830?

I wonder the same thing too, I bought the printer for the same reason and am having the same problem, I just bought a tri pack Feb 21 and with almost no color printing it claims to be empty 4 months later. I've heard the printer priming itself from time to time especially when the computer wakes up from sleeping. I gues from now on i'll keep it off until im ready to print

It will reset it to full but if you keep doing this you will burn out your printer ,so its up to you. Also my resetter works about 1 out of every five times, Please remember you will burn out your printer

there is a way to reset the printer to factory settings, I had to do it a few times when I had this printer. Call HP and ask them for the reset sequence.

Make sure there is paper in it and hit the stop reset button. It will print everything that did notalready print that is waiting in the memory.

You can try taking the print head out and cleaning it, but I have not had good luck with it fixing it. Sometimes it helps and then the next time I use it, it won't print black again. Basically, these are useless printers. The print head is about $50 to buy a new one and they don't last very long. I'm limping along with this and then I will buy a different brand. Sorry. Maybe cleaning it will get you a little more use.

You can try reset your printer by restarting your computer and your printer. You may also need to reinstall the drivers or install a new updated driver

If you contact Brother, they can help. Their CSR Rep was able to help me Purge the print head and now I'm back in business. I got a back-up printer just in case.

I have been having the same problem with the Artisan 800. As I type this I am waiting to speak to someone in Customer Relations at Epson's HQ to register a major complaint about the 800's ink disappearance. This was obviously a design flaw which may very well prevent me from considering an Epson Printer in the future. I'd be interested, too if they did anything to fix the ink consumption process on the newer 810 which looks essentially the same as the 800.

I use "copy' and that seems to work. Good luck- every time I want to print, I have to insert the disc and reinstall.

It's an anomaly with this printer. You have to reset it. Turn off for 5-10 minutes then turn on again. Might require you doing this a few times till it "takes."

I had same problem. There was no fix after working with Kodak technician. Printer had worked flawlessly for two years. Technician offered a free refurbished printer (same print cartridges but no fax) with 90 day warrantee...I pay shipping cost...$10. This print head jam seems to a common problem. It is not a paper issue.

Interesting question. I find that after I print on the disc, it's immediately dry! But I don't trust that, so I just leave it alone for an hour or two, maybe even longer, but it seems as if it's dry right away.

I don't really know, but if it were my printer, I would unplug it and see if it would reset itself. If not, re-install the computer with the disc. I use mine a lot with eBay and use cheap ink, cheap paper and it does a decent job. For real quality, I use another printer. This printer seems to be a faithful work horse.

I followed the directions that came with it. I think you have to power off the printer to reset it. Find the directions.
