Re: Brother ink cartridge problem

My wife's printer is a Brother MFC-J485DW.

The printer doesn¡¯t recognize a brand new Yellow cartridge. It continues to complain that the Yellow cartridge is out of ink. We also tried a second new cartridge. Same effect.

What might be the problem? Is there anything else we should try?
Is the yellow cartridge a genuine Brother cartridge or a third party cartridge?

If a Brother cartridge, I'd consult Brother. If they can't make it work, I'd ask for a refund or replacement of your entire printer, since that means that it is defective.

If it is a third party compatible cartridge, I'd consult with the company that makes that cartridge, and at minimum request a refund for that cartridge.
