Get printer into operational state #39

Closed learner-long-life closed 5 years ago

The Brother tank on the left-hand kitchen table is displaying the errors "Drum ended" and "Belt ended soon", which shouldn't prevent it from printing.

Main problem is Paper tray fails to pick up paper, then it reports a jam. This might help.

It currently needs a wired ethernet connection to the hub, either a long cable running from the right-hand side

This video seems helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1GOMS9icyA

@casay cleaned rollers several times and it appeared not to help. We may need to replace the rollers only.

Tray 1 now works for feeding paper, and it's on the house network at 192.168.1.140 🎊

Unfortunately, there are black streaks that show up at the edge, and only the black and blue ink cartridges are working, and the print quality is faded.

I'll test the scanning feature next. I'm also in favor of buying a new cheap used color inkjet printer, since this color laserjet won't be good at photo-printing in any case.
