Windows 10: Brother MFC6490CW will no longer print properly.

Brother MFC6490CW will no longer print properly. It will copy. My PC is using Windows Home 11 Version 23H2. I have removed the printer and reinstalled it. I have tried to install a new driver. Is this a lack of compatibility with the latest version of Windows.

Brother DCP-6690CW printing from laptop

Hi Petr,

I had the same problem with my Brother printer, mine was model MFC6490CW.

What I did was to set it to work wirelessly, and since then I have been able to print from my PC to the printer.

This is the Brother print quality troubleshooting guide for your printer: Online User's Guide

Follow the suggestions under the “faint” print topic. Light print is not a typical print problem requiring repair. Light print is usually a problem with your printer supplies, making it a consumables problem and not a printer hardware problem. Use a genuine brother toner cartridge and drum unit. Also check for the “toner save” feature that might be turned on.

If the light print continues, it is almost certainly the transfer roller that is causing the issue. However, it can be an electrical issue as well as an issue with the laser assembly.

Transfer rollers are usually a simple replacement but I don’t see a transfer roller available for this model of printer. Therefore, if using new, genuine supplies does not fix the problem the printer is not serviceable or is not worth the cost of repairing.
