This is written based upon MY experience and was not solicited by anyone.
I have a Brother home computer inkjet printer (Model MFC-J995DW, now discontinued by Brother). Two weeks ago, I replaced the ink cartridges, using knock-offs because Brother's pricing is exorbitant (for me). At about the same time, the printer began acting erratically, including horrible printing and then stopping altogether due to a message stating paper jam.
I followed ALL the steps stated by Brother for "clearing the jam." Without any exaggeration, I followed those steps precisely not fewer than 20 times spread over 2 days, and tried all several other things such as cleaning nozzles, cleaning rollers, unplugging, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, etc., while frustration built. There was NO paper jam of any type, no staples, no paper clips, NO HELP FROM BROTHER (other than to send me the steps, again).
I had been to Modern Office Equipment a few years ago with another printer, which they fixed, so finally took this one to them (now partnered with Royal Business Systems, Inc., located at 2717 N. Hogan St., Spokane 99207).
Within 24 hours, they diagnosed my printer, found the issues (clogged nozzles, DUST on control tape which INDICATED a paper jam!) and cured the patient (100% operability), and for an incredibly fair and unexpected price! And honey on my biscuit, the two folks with whom I interacted (Reception/Intake AND the Tech) were as nice and pleasant as anyone I ever met. Today was a diamond. read more
