I've had trouble finding compatible inks. Brother must have changed/updated their firmware.

I have tried LD-LC103 ink cartridges that came from both Speedy Inks and Anazon. I have tried these on both of my Brother printers, an MFC j450DW and an MFC J475DW. I cannot get the printer to detect them. It's hard for me to believe that these companies would be making cartridges known not to work. I am waiting for LD to answer an email I sent to them with questions about their cartridges. I can't even find much info online about problems with these cartridges. LD will take back the cartridges you bought and either send you more or give you a credit. I am thinking that I should be buying Brother cartridges that have been rebuilt and filled. More expensive than compatibles but still a lot less than OEM. I have tried LD-LC103 ink cartridges that came from both Speedy Inks and Anazon.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

You need to make certain that the cartridges are compatible with your printer. I doubt very much that Epson cartridges are compatible with a Brother printer. If you have the correct cartridges, there should be no problems. I've been using mine for almost 2 months with excellent results.

I have a HP 8150 and it recognizes the cartridge but it doesn't recognize it as full. I just hit "OK" and move on. It prints fine with it anyway.

Sorry to hear about your problem, I never had any problem with mine recognizing the ink cartridges. I have ordered 2 different package deals and they both have worked. I would say that you have a problem within the printer itself. To have it fixed would cost more than getting another one. Unless it's still under Warranty.

check what your printer is on. The printer can usually work it for you. Brenda

okay I need some help/info. I got the 2170w brother printer. I thought it came with a drum too? listed on the side of the box.. well my toner light is blinking, still printing though. So do I just need to buy a drum? What do I do from there, stick it into the toner that exists? Confused since the drum I saw on amazon says compatible w/ toner model xxx whatever. So do they work together? Or do I just stick the drum in place of the toner that I put in there..? Thanks!

I bought this unit as a replacement for a Brother 2270dw printer and it worked fine. I don't have your model so I can't confirm nor deny.

At least the black cartridge DOES NOT WORK on my J870DW printer. Thinking the first one might be a dud, tried a second one. That too didn't work.

According to the Brother accessory catalog, that Brother will email you, it does show it is compatable. You may want to verify with Brother before purchasing.

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.

Honestly I bought a new printer. One that does not put a chip in cartridge. I bought a Brother for the first time and am very happy with it.

I believe you are referring to the plastic protect piece and yes that must be removed or the printer will not recognize the cartridge. It should also show you in your manual that came with the printer. If you are still having a problem go to Brother.com and you can call them and they will assist you. I have done that for other Brother products I own.

Mine is a Brother MFC-J415w. It works perfectly and I am extremely pleased with these cartridges.

Don't know for sure, but I very much doubt it -- when I changed to a different, but very similar, Brother printer, the cartridges were different. I'd suggest advertising yours on EBay.

Your printer is the same as mine, and as far as I can tell it should recognize it when you insert it into the receiver. But if you are having trouble, I would try taking it out and reloading it. If that does not work, I would try unpluging the printer for a few seconds and then reloading the ink cartridge.
