Re: printing white letters with black background..
You need to select the right tape for your machine. You can't change how it prints except by changing the tape. Brother has many colors to choose from.

You are probably out of ink in one or more cartridges. You need to do a diagnostic print and take the print to the ink supply vendor to get the correct replacements.
I don't have any first hand experience with this label printer, but if it was me, I'd confirm that the unit has full battery, and that the paper is in the right way. Thermal paper usually only works on one side.
If your background is "Black" it's going to print it all black, change your background color to "Gray" and your machine will then print a gray background instead of black. Also note that when you print a black background your toner life expectancy will be no where your expected yield ratio is. Average yield is 5% for X (X meaning size of cartridge) amount of printed pages. If your printing a black background your utilizing 100% yield coverage. Not sure if this is the answer your looking for. However basic black and white printing with a black background will print the page completely black.
Go to control panel select printers and then select lexmark left click and open printing preferences select graphics tab and uncheck the negative box, the printing will be normal from now on.
This may sound a bit dumb, but believe me as a tech support specialist, I have seen it happen. If you are trying to print a document, what color do you have set for text? I had a lady who wanted the text to be white on blue on the screen in Word and instead of setting it with a blue background and "auto" text, she set the text as white. White print on a white background (paper) doesn't show up...:-)
