Getting Fingers Dirty
Who is a guru on Brother toner carts?
Background:
I have a Brother MFC-8890 that uses TN650 carts (or half filled TN620's)
I bought what I thought was refilled TN650 carts, but they wont fit: the seller sold me what he says are TN580, "-and they fit sir, have a nice day". Well, these carts (refilled package says TN580) wont fit: the bottom of all of these Brother carts have what I call plastic fins that are supposed to fit in some kind of alignment slots in the printer body. And these differ:
In essence the fins on the bottom of the refilled carts are very far apart (8 in.) -- and my original TN650 carts , they are not that very far apart. (5 1/4in.)
1) Anyone with insight on whats going on here?
2) Can I use a Dremel tool and just shave off the fins? = as a quick and dirty hack solution. (the seller wont take the supposedly TN580 carts back..)
