This was my first Brother cartridge for my first Brother laser printer. The printer was attractive at purchase because of its low price and compact design. After some period of usage, a light on the top of the unit indicated that the toner had expired. I bought a replacement TN-450, and followed instructions in the box to replace the original cartridge. Unfortunately the toner light did not go out and the printer did not work. I tried repeating the process several times -- always with the same result. I finally called Brother tech support for help. The representative was knowledgeable and helpful, but the process was very involved. Push this button 7 times, then that button 3 times -- on and on. I did not get any indication as to why this was necessary, but eventually it worked. When this cartridge expires, if the same thing happens, I will throw the printer away. With previous HP laser printers, there was alway a provision to return the used cartridge via UPS. Didn't have this feature with this unit, so getting rid of the old cartridge becomes yet another unwelcome project.
