hai friends, i also have a hl 4070cdw brother printer and have the same problem with it. but i found a way to reset this. what you must do is just ad a little piece of electrical tape black on both side of the drum unit where the sensors or reading the level of the ink. and the second what you must do is use a screwdriver and open at the side of the gear of the cartrige. than rotate the gear which is not fully in gear but half. you can find this gear unit beside the upper screw. i have a gray one in my cartrige. the others are white. rotate the gray one only and screw it back. your printer will work again.

I recently bought this printer but I purchased it off the HP internet site because it was cheaper. I sincerely like the way my printed copies look—very professional and the ink does not smudge. I set up the wireless choice on both my windows os and mac os laptop computers. When setting up my macbook, it was tough but I detected that once the software package was installed on my macbook and I removed the USB printer cable from the macbook and turned the printer off and then on—-the wireless system operated?! Setting up wirelessly with the Windows Vista operating system was real smooth. This is nice looking printer and I am delighting it thus far.

I agree Sam – it’s a damn scandal. The worst of it is that all these companies portray themselves as environmentally friendly whilst at the same time producing technology that actually wastes resources simply to boost their bank balances! Fancy making you throw away something that’s not empty….

I just had all three toner cartridges ending at the same time again. I am very unhappy. I weighed the Cyan toner cartridge. I actually have just consumed 10 grams of the Cyan toner. This is a crime what Brother is doing!! If I print a single dot of blue color on one page. Brother stops me from printing any more pages after 4000 single dots!! A new Brother Cyan toner cartridge of TN-115C costs $137.99 at Staples. That means the Brother toner costs 454g/10g x $137.99= $6,265 per pound. The raw materials for the toner ingredients cost less than $5 per pound. The profit margins for Brother is 125,300%.
Brother- you need to let people print until the toners are truly consumed, not by your set page counter!!
