And now it wont allow me to print, same as your problem. I ordered some black cartridges, not knowing as now that that would not have cut it. I have now damaged the sensor system trying to override, and I have a worthless expense. This is not how a company with integrity should operate (Brother); and other companies do understand various needs of consumers, not forcing extra purchases on the unsuspecting buyer in order to salvage their original good will purchase. Someone should not have to buy color ink if they dont use it. I will buy Canon now, as I like their cameras and lenses, and I will never waste my money on a Brother product again. Thank you for informing the public. I had the same printer for a few months, and only printed a few b&w docs and just 2 color prints. And now it wont allow me to print, same as your problem.
