Brother HL-2240 Toner light stays on after fitting new toner

I found this and it worked great.

1. Power Unit off

2. Open front cover

3. Press and hold GO and turn power on

4. When all 3 lights lit release and press GO twice

5. All lights turn solid

6. With all solid, press GO 5 times

7. Ready light Goes red

8. Close door and you're all set

9. Some say a power off is required, it doesn't hurt :)      


If you wanted to buy me a beer for these instructions please use paypal below, I have had a great response and thank you for the donations, it all helps :)
      

If my instructions have helped and saved you a call out, Buy me a cool beer :)

    I wish I came across this last week. I needed to print out my 113 page thesis but "ran out of toner" mid-print. I used this fix and just printed the entire thesis again, every page looks fine.

    I work the front desk at a hotel and we've been without our printer for 2 days because of this problem. We've had to hand write EVERYTHING including my night audit. But now, thanks to you, my friend, I have a working printer again! Thank you so much!

So todays issue revolves around office 2013 and exchange 365 accounts.  I had an issue with a user's machine that just kept asking for the password but would not accept it, the login box kept coming back up. Turns out 2013 uses an old auth method so we need to force it to use the new method. So using regedit you need to add the below key Registry key Type Value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover REG_DWORD 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\EnableADAL REG_DWORD 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\Version REG_DWORD 1 You May also create a reg key file if you wanted to do a few machines Enable modern authentication for Office 2013 clients Close Outlook. Copy and paste the following text into Notepad: text Copy Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange] "AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRE
