5.0 out of 5 stars Runs almost 2X longer than rated!, January 18, 2008

This unit will give you a replace drum indication via a simple page counter @ 20,000. If you do regular printing - simple forms, invoices, etc. and don't print a lot of greyscale, like photos and such, you can easily get 36,000 to 42,000 pages. When you start to get streaking or little sploches or dots of toner, then replace. I have done this many times and it doesn't hurt a thing as long as you have a new drum ready to go when the defects show up. Save some money & the environment!

I am one of those guys who dutifully changes the oil in his car when the mileage is up. So, of course, when my Brother printer hit the 20,000 mark and started telling me it was time to replace the drum, I spent the money and did it. Of course, the drum I had was printing just fine, but who was I to argue with scheduled maintenance?

Now with my NEW drum, I get ghost printing when I print envelopes. I get a weak image of the first text and then a second even weaker image of the text again below it. It is like the toner is sticking to the drum and getting put on the paper a second time as the drum turns. If I move the blue slider back and forth a few times it will clear up for a little while.

I need to call Brother and let them know my problem. I regret, though, spending the money on a new drum, when my old one was working perfectly fine. Unfortunately, I through the old one out before we discovered the problem with the new one.

I ordered this because the advertisement said that it was an original "Brother" drum. Upon receipt of the product it was not an original "Brother" drum but a reworked one. No where in the ad was this stated. I could have bought a reworked replacement for less elsewhere. Since I needed the drum right away it was not convenient for me to return it even though the amazon partner would allow me to do so. Be careful when you order these types of things to insure that you are getting actually what you expect and not an inferior replacement.
