I repaired our model HL-4070CDW in about 30 minutes using Mr. Palmer's method. Thank you for putting this information on line.

We already bought a new machine (same one) but we kept the old one. I am going to try fixing my old machine with your suggestion. I'll post the outcome. In any case, thank you for replying to my post. We were on the phone with Brother and they really didn't give any good suggestions and also all the authorized service centers wanted to charge over $100 to look at the machine and parts and labor would be extra.

I mainly used the link by Lee E Palmer. "http://www.scribd.com/doc/62071141/Brother-CDW-Print-Unable-32". Worked like explained and now I have my copier/printer/fax machine back in action.

After attempting to clear paper debris from inside the printer as per Brother's advice on their support website for this printer with error code 32, I tried Mr. Palmer's advice above. The link to the scribd.com website above brings up great instructions with wonderful photos. Not hard, not for the feint hearted though. Worked like a charm!!! Thanks thanks thanks mr Palmer!!

I am not able to print in B&W; if any of the colors are out, it is probably the most frustrating aspect of this printer. I've tried specifying black and white, I've tried removing the empty color cartridge, etc. it refuses to print and just shows an error that the cyan (or whatever color it may be) is out of ink.

Yes, I had an error code come up before. I had to do a reset and replace with new cartridges. But my printer still works fine. Considering ordering this product again. I have an HP Photosmart C7280. But also be aware or which supplier or seller that you are ordering these cartridges from. That really makes a difference.

My printer said the same thing. I was able to force it to print anyway. I think it is something the printer manufacturer has on their cartridges that isn't on these making the printer not like them. THey are trying to force you to buy the expensive ones.

Yes it absolutely refuses to print if it shows the cartridges are empty. Further, I KNOW the cartridges are NOT fully empty because it demands that the cartridge be replaced even if the print doesn't have ANY signs of degradation yet. It's very frustrating in that sense because I'm certain that there is a great deal of ink being wasted, resulting in me having to spend extra $$$. Aside from that I do really like the printer itself, but this function of it is frustrating.

I was unable to fix this problem. I think this printer manufacturer is putting out a lot of defective units because some people love it and the rest of us hate it because it won't work. I sent it back and bought another brand that was basically the same printer, and this one works great...

I am sorry you are having this problem. They are very handy little machines; the one I had before this one lasted almost 15 years. It sounds to me as though your machine is broken. As long as you are pressing the button marked Print, you seem to be doing everything correctly. You need to return the machine. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

As a former technology manager, I would have a lot more questions for you. Has the printer worked before? If so, does it not print in any application. There's also the classic - turn EVERYTHING off (PC & printer). If still no good, what about making a copy - pull the USB cable and make a copy - if it doesn't copy - it's either the printer or possibly the ink cartridge is not snapped in properly.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

If it doesn't want to print try pushing the OK button which acknowledges that you got the error message.I buy my ink from CarrotInk.com Total for all 5 cartridges $76.75I'll have to check out Office Max.

That problem occurs with many Canons. Canon knows about the problem, but has done nothing to help people with the issue. When we e-mailed them about the error, they basically just wanted to sell us a new printer. This is part of their response, "...You are eligible for Canon's Loyalty Program. This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service, or for some reason are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. This option allows you a one-time opportunity to purchase a replacement product, discounted from the list price, and with free FedEx Ground shipping. If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department..." Our printer wasn't that old, just past the one-year warranty. So, we bought and new printer, but it is not a Canon. If you visit the Canon Forum website and search for the error, you will find more frustrated customers with the same problem. Sorry.

I have another model Canon printer that I just purchased new. I did this on this one. I haven't had it long enough to run out of ink, but if this works it makes Canon the best printer to buy. I may upgrade to a better canon.I had an HP. It was an older HP AIO with no monitors on it. I think HP sent a code to all the old ones to disable everything but the printer as my scanner no longer works no matter what I do. I googled it, and there are tons of people who've posted the same exact problem with odler HP printers.

I have been unable to print using this printer for some time now. Make of that what you will.

One of several error codes that are plaguing this model and many others. I would never again advise a friend to buy a Canon printer. For the reasons why, I suggest you Google "Canon U052 Wrong Printhead Error" for the full story. There is a class action lawsuit under way.

What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked

A lot more information is needed to even address your problem. I suggest that you go to one of the online HP blog sites and query that user group. You need to carefully outline the specifics of the operating configuration when your error occurs, like your printer model, does it have duplex printing, what have you tried already, etc. The quality of the replies that you get will depend a lot upon the how clearly you describe your problem.

I just had this happen to me. I called Canon technical service. They talked me through removing ink cartridges, print head, waiting, then trying it again. )Don't do that on your own, there were several warnings along the way about what not to do.) Unfortunately, after I did that, I got the same error message. I was told I have to take it in to a service center. Ugh. Or, there is a "customer loyalty program" they offer with a discount and free shipping on a new printer. Canon number is: 800-652-2666. Customer loyalty program number: 866-443-8002. Good luck
