if you are really not sure of what type of cartridge your printer uses, just take out that cartridge and bring it to a computer shop near you. the techinicians there would now what right cartridge to give you.... you might want to check also the website of your printers make and model just to make sure. im sure its over the internet . or if its not, post another question here in yahoo answers. im sure someone will  have an idea.

Compatibility isn't the issue.  The problem is that you either use the printer infrequently or are using refilled or third party cartridges and your print head is dry.\n\nYou will need to run several print head cleanings to see if you can remedy this.\n\nOn a brother you have a button that says "ink"  hit that and scroll through until you see an option that says clean print heads or clean nozzles.  Hit OK.\n\nHopefully after a couple print head cleaning you will see some improvement.  However if it has been quite sometime (more than a couple months) since you last printed successfully. Then it may be time for you to replace the whole darn printer.  Or have the print head serviced.

First make sure there is any ink coming out of the cartridge.  Dab it on a moist paper towel to see if you get the three colors.  If you do, then try completely resetting your printer.  Turn off your printer, unplug it and then leave it that way for at least a minute.  This clears the memory so that it shouldn't think you are still using the same empty cartridge.  \n\nIf these don't work, there is a chance that you just have to get another cartridge.  If the print head (the shiny copper portion) is scratched or damaged in any way, then your printer won't be able to read the cartridge.

-Open Top.\n-Place doc lengthwise unless otherwise noted by paper selection on copier.\n-If not using Automatic options, ensure Photocopy contrast, scaling (size: 50%-200%), and number of copys.\n-Copy button.\n\nAssuming latest copier technology, with LCD status panel on top.\n- In the event of paper jam (most common), check panel for location of jam.\n-Open panel, remove paper, close panel.\n\n-In the even of low toner. Open toner panel, remove empty toner cartridge (simple), and replace with new cart.\n\n\n-Make sure to folow procedures dictacted by the LCD screen if copier is so equipped. Otherwise, wing it.\n\n\nIf an issue arises that is not a replacement toner or jam issue, consult with Copier's Vendor (if your copier was acquired through vendor, it should be). If you have no vendor, contact a certified technician to service the copier. (anything that is not the two common issues is more complex than office monkeys can handle).\n\n\nThats a basic rundown. Go trial and Error on it.

Here are some instructions:\n\nhttp://www.pacificink.com/downloads/FLX-16.pdf\nhttp://www.pacificink.com/downloads/FLX-26.pdf\n\nThis may or may not help depending on which refill kit you are using, but it should give you a general idea of what to do.

ok shirley, following the instructions the others have suggested get me to where i need to go, but they do not reveal any ink levels, which is what i expected.\n\nnot all printers allow you to check the ink levels on your system.  mine is a laser and there is a menu on the printer which allows me to find the usage.  however, my daughters doesn't have either.\n\nsometimes you need to watch it yourself.  if you feel that the ink carts you have in the machine have been printing for like forever, feel free to get a new one as a back up.  keep it in a cool dry place, as a warm dry place will dry out the cartridge if kept there too long.\n\nwatch the pages as they print.  when you notice that the ink is getting lighter or you begin to see streaks in the printing it is time to replace the cartridge.  if you are able and wanting to refill them, DO NOT RUN the cartridge empty, as it will ruin the cart and you will not be able to refill it.  once you remove it from the printer, you may dispose of it, place it in a plastic zip close bag with a slightly damp paper towel until it can be refilled, or use it at your local officemax/staples to get a free ream of paper, or maybe your local video store will give you a free movie rental if you turn it in.\n\nagai, not all printers allow you this opportunity.\n\nhope this helps\ngood luck

Your cartridge needs to have the top popped in order to refill.  HOWEVER, make sure the cartridge has not been run empty, or it will not respond to refilling.  Also if you have removed the cartridge and it is just sitting on your desk, then it will not respond either.  The printhead needs to be kept damp, or protected.  The last thing you need to know is that you MUST have lexmark 10n0026 ink.  If you bought one of the universal kits, you may be stuck with ink that is too thin and will leak, or ink that is too thick and will clog.\nOnce you determine that all is OK, simply use a knife to pry off the top of the cartridge, and if you cannot tell which color goes where, use a tooth pick to determine which color is where.  these are small cartridges and will not require much ink, so fill very slowly.  Watch the printhead and the top of the cartridge at the same time.  At the first sign of ink coming from the print head - STOP and pull back a bit on the needle (a very little bit).  You should also watch the top of the cartridge, as to avoid having the ink pour out of the top.  Repeat for all colors.  Hope this helps.\n\nIf you have to remove the cartridge prior to refilling, then you should place it in a zipper bag along with a slightly damp paper towel, until you can get to it.  It must remain moist, but not wet, and do not store in the freezer.

Here are some things to try:\n\n1. Go through and manually configure your print options, ensuring that none of them are set to exclusively red print.\n2. Remove the red ink cartridge.

you need to make sure that you have brother lc41m ink.  not all inks work on all cartridges.  if you do not have the right ink the cartridge can clog (if the ink is too thick), or leak (if the ink is too thin).  the best thing you can do is make sure you have the correct ink.

Best bet might be to read the instructions on the refill kit?

Wow, a lot of folks are referring to inkjet cartridges in these responses.  What you have (as you likely know) is a high volume toner cartridge with an integrated drum.  You cannot refill the toner cartridge, but you can purchase them in one of two states, refilled or remanufactured.  Refilled toner cartridges contain used drums which is a concern.  Either way, reliability drops right along with print quality to some degree.  If you go this route, be sure that the company that provides you with the "used" cartridges has a policy to service your printer when and if they fail, because when they do, they tend to make a mess.
