And even if you did get rid of error 51 that you have created, you will find that you still cant print in black, original problem is the print head is stuffed probally from dodgy non gen ink running threw it and the fix is to replace head. I don't know who is telling all you brother mfc owners to clean your print head but your paddling up the wrong creek, these heads are electronic deivices that dont take kindly to cleaning, they are not the same as other brands. Re error 51 goto different machine same engine post

print heads are more than the cost of a new machine, approx Aus$150 plus fitting, not worth doing and needs 4 new inks to run inital purge too
With your next printer stick to gen inks, recycled inks work out more expensive in the end because you neede to have printer fix, life is shortened, and cost of frustration with bad print quality. Laser machines are a lot cheaper to run than ink but colour laser is expensive units to buy. Running cost of a inkjet is 20-30cents per sheet, laser is 2-10. If most of your printing is B/W then buy a laser based machine and do your colour printing at the photoshop heaps more economical and reliable, thanks for rating it is appriciated.

Yes I finally figured that out. the question is where to find a print head, what is the cost, is it worth getting and will it work? (smile)
