| 699215 | 2008-08-21 22:42:00 | Hi Guys I have one of these popular printers a Brother HL2040. I have had it for 18 months and am very pleased with it. I am on my first replacement toner cartridge and have gone through about 10 reams of A4 paper on it. My problem is that lately it often sends out a page all crinkled up concertina style. And sometimes it jams up the paper and I have to clear it. About 1 in every 20 sheets, its becoming a bit of a pain. My question is, is it the paper I am using ? - the same since I started. Is it the weather ? or does the paper path need cleaning or lubing etc ? Any suggestions ? |

| 699220 | 2008-08-22 06:30:00 | Over many years and several models, I finally decided that the best thing about the Brother printers was the satisfying crash they make when you toss them into the wheelie bin... | godfather (25) | ||
| 699221 | 2008-08-22 06:31:00 | Damp paper will curl up not crinkle. That is more likely to be something blocking the paper path. |

And I had thought about it. I think it was about $89.00 for a toner (ink ?) cartridge. Versus $ 129.00 for a new printer. Crazy isn't it. |

If and when someone else brings out a better B&W printer,then I shall look at it,but my Brother has worked like a charm. |
