Brother MFC-210c Printer?

Question

My stupid printer, keeps telling me that my black ink needs changing. It was replaced about a month ago and has been bearly used and I can tell there is quite a lot of ink still in it. The same goes for the Magenta. I desperately need to print out 1 piece of paper tonight in colour as part of my CV. Is there any way I can get it to work, by changing something in the printer properties or something. I was so angry as it does this constantly, I was going to just go and buy a new one but nothing was open as it is Sunday here. Please help me i'm going crazy.

Answer 1

I have one of this stupid printer myself. I have had this trouble before. It won't work no matter what you do.  I check this on the "Brother"; the printer was built in this way; if it said no ink, you have to replace the cartridge, otherwise, it won't work.  

Answer 2

No you need to replace the cartridge.  Brother actually reads your ink level optically so it is pretty much the most accurate ink level on a printer out there.

You cannot override this message.  A brother printer will leave a residual 5-10% of ink in the cartridge as a design feature.   This ensures the print head is properly flooded, so although you can see ink, it is not usable ink.
