I have a Brother HL-5240, status light red, paper light flashing. Plenty of paper in the tray

Ether the paper sensing lever is broken or there is dust accumulation or paper fragments inside the optical sensor.

My Brother HL-5240 printer constantly has the paper light on even though there is paper loaded

You probably printed a document that was forced to the manual feed. Place some paper there and it should print. Go to your printer preferences and set the default tray to tray1 instead of Auto.

My Brother 5240 laser printer has a red status light when i turn it on. I hit cancel job, and the light turns green. however, when i print a file, the file goes into the print queue for a few seconds then...

It may some paper jam inside your printer . open the front cover pull out the cartridge and look any jammed paper is there or not. if not the the problem may came from your toner drum.

Brother Laser HL-5240 has a status light and toner light. Fuser was replaced but no help.

that error usually indicates that the toner has reached its end of life
or the drum is not properly installed.

i had one person who put the toner in but threw the drum cartridge away.

5240 brother

I just solved my similar problem- switch off printer, open front door, hold down go (blue) button. Now switch on, holding the go button for about 10 seconds then closing the door.This left the lights all off, green light only when pressing go. Switch off then on, it worked! hopefully this helps someone else. Ross
