Brother 5250 The red light for status and yellow light for paper is on. I read the answer to the previous posts for this question and none seem to work. I went to the Brother website, they suggest that there is a paper jam or the tray setting is incorrect. I have checked every possible place for a paper jam and there is none. I have checked the paper tray settings and everything is okay. If I switch the power on and off it sometimes prints one or two pages. This of course is no help. I have tried all of the suggestions and nothing seems to help. Any other suggestions?

status is on red and toner light is on. I've changed toner and checked it on another printer, it works, but when I put it in my printer the red lite and yellow toner lite go on and it doesn't print. I'm using a mac powerbook.

My red status light is on and the yellow paper light is blinking. There is absolutely NO paper jam. I am totally at a loss for what the hell is wrong!

Less than six months old, same problem as everyone else. Just started acting up one day. Turning off and on helped for a bit, but it's becoming a problem every time I print now. Status light goes red and paper light blinks yellow. No jams. Will occasionally print after restarting printer but becoming less and less likely.

Same as listed above.  Out of nowhere.


Have tried all obvious actions to re-set.  My guess is that there's some sort of computer chip/ component that's blown.


Has there been any response from Brother? Same as listed above.  Out of nowhere.

Same symptoms. Can't get any pages by pressing the Go button or rebooting the printer so I am completely dead.

Status light red. When I try to print it will start to run the paper through and then stop. No other lights are on but the red status light. I've gone through all the steps for paper jam but that's not it. This unit is about 1 year old. HELP! Status light red. When I try to print it will start to run the paper through and then stop.
