How long will the toner last that comes with the printer? Should I buy a pack of toner cartridges at the same time I buy this printer? The toners I'm looking at come with a 365 day warranty, but I don't want to buy them too far in advance. Thanks for...

I have found that this printer uses a LOT of toner. I only had it for 4 months and had replaced all 4 toners 3 times. I no longer own this printer--It quit working. (said there wasn't any toner installed!) Samsung sent me a replacement--It didn't work at all. I'm sending it back for a refund.

Yes it comes with some toner but they are not full cartridges, good luck hope you get one that works.

Yes - typical for almost all printers today, the toner supplied was not full retail amount - probably will yield about 1200 pages, depending on color saturation.Very good printer - fast and good color - not bad for photos - does reasonable job though

The original cartridge gave us about 700-800 copies. This cartridge which replaced it, according to the printer, has printed 1034 pages (I have my doubts about this number though) so far without any issues. Since last two days the toner low message is back and is consistently on but little shaking makes it work. Let see how far it will go. Will keep you posted on the final number.

I received some low capacity toner cartridges with mine. Enough to do several hundred prints. There are high capacity toner cartridges available that are supposed to do over 20,000 prints.

Hi Jay, yes the printer comes with toners. Two things to know about them. They are called the "starter kit", and they will keep you printing for a while, but they do not have the full capacity of toners that you purchase separately. The printer will give you full and fair warning about when the toners are low, i.e. "estimated 156 pages left for black toner." The second thing is that the toners in my machine had spilled onto the machine lenses during shipping, producing streaks in the copy that came out. So I had to go inside and wipe the lenses off with a soft cloth. Beautiful prints after that. Hope that this helps you with your question. Good luck! Hi Jay, yes the printer comes with toners.

Gobby,I have never heard there is an expiration date for those kind of items. I have owned Brother printers for years and never had a problem with them - except when super storm Sandy took my color laser printer :-(But I quickly purchased another one, a monochrome this time because of my budget. The high yield toner last me over a year with no problems.

I am still using it I think over 3000. But I learned a trick from the other one I used (that came with the printer) - the printer automatically stops if it detects the toner is thinning. It does this by monitoring a small transparent window in the toner itself. If you cover that window with duct tape the window, the toner will magically function for another 3000 pages or so.

That would depend on how much you print. Ink cartridges have a shelf life of a year or more depending on how you care for them. If it is exposed to high heat, sun, or cold conditions it won't last as long. I can tell you that I print a lot of color on a daily basis and my toner lasted a month and a half, and I was shocked. The other printers I have had in the past burned through ink, This Brother is amazing as it is ink efficient.

It comes with a starter toner. Maybe half the size of a regular toner cartridge. But will last a while for a normal use.

It comes with the whole set and ready to print. Just FYI that the included toner is a standard yield toner (TN720, approx. 3,000 page print) which won't last long if you run lot of prints regularly. Highly suggest to purchase TN750 (or compatible...that what I have), a high yield toner (approx. 8,000 page print), as your toner replacement. We have several Brother's black/white laser printers, and they all run great, except their included standard yield toner which needs to be replaced soon after couple months.

Mine is 2 years old and I have filled the toner cartridges several times....I use a local company who specializesin refilling toner cartridges...they find away to refill anything !!!! It might be that the original starter cartridge which lasts a very short time is sealed

I agree w/the previous answer. I've never had a problem w/this toner. The only time I had a problem is when someone sold me a cheaper "compatible" toner which did not work at all. Have you checked your printer for a possible problem? I'm sure you can return the product for an exchange or refund, especially if you bought it from Amazon. Good luck. Dolores

Are they the toners that go with the printer. Are they the name brand toners? Sometimes if you don't use the correct toner it will compromise the printer. Other than that I really don't know what else it could be. Try calling the printer company,

There are work arounds to make the printer "think" that you have put in a new toner. If you are not getting stripes on the pages or faded ink, and feel you probably still have toner in the cartridge - follow the steps that you would do when you add a new toner cartridge and you will be up and running again. I do it and sometimes print for MONTHS longer depending on the color. I never replace my toner color until you can tell it's needed when the ink is barely printing any longer. :)

I've had the exact same problem, although it took a few years to develop. I only use it on small print jobs. It began about the time I was running low on the original toner cartridges. I am very disappointed and sad to see there is no solution. A printer of this price point should last longer than a year or two, or even months before degrading to near uselessness. I really have not spent any serious efforts to resolve, but if after doing so, will report back if I have any success.
