Hi Annamarie, To be honest, to replace it would cost less than the time that you've spent trying to fix it (in terms of what your dollars-per-hour rate is I would think). Although to be honest I've had a lot of problems with my brother HL-2070N myself when I used a third party toner. It just refuses to print properly with the cheap toner. So I guess that could play into it. You could try a different toner cartridge if you have one. The red light is pretty generic warning that I remember. I replaced mine with a Samsung ML-2525W and have been happier with that printer. Also there is a web page built into the 2070. If you connect to the printer through a browser does it tell you what is wrong with the status? (e.g., http://10.0.0.100) Good luck David On 4/25/2012 1:26 PM, Annamarie Pluhar wrote: > ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > > > > Hi, > > Just in case someone on this list knows something that I can't find on > the web... > > I have a Brother HL-2070N.
