The printer worked fine for about 4 months, then nothing Black would print. Installed new cartridge even though existing one was 3/4 full. Still no black. Cleaning, alignment, test prints - all no black.
Called Brother tech support and they sent me a new printer under warranty. This one worked for two weeks, and guess what - this will not print in Black now either with a new full black cartridge.
Not worth the headache. I guess this piece of crap is made in China or something.Get more detail about Brother MFC-5490CN Professional Series Color Inkjet All-in-One with Ethernet Networking.
