[SOLVED] Printer going crazy. Only half a document printed, then cycles paper.

[krecha64]

Hey fellow forum members!
I've had this issue for a while where my Brother MFC-845CW prints only several first lines of the document, and then starts spitting out paper till it runs out of it or I cut the power. No idea what may be the cause. The computer also sends just a fraction of a file as shown in queue in image below. Could that be the case? How to fix it?

Thanks in advance,
Hubert.

Reinstall the driver.
Update the firmware.
How is the printer connected? USB, ethernet, wireless?

There's no driver available in the internet, so i have to rely on the driver that installs itself when the printer is plugged in.
Also i can't really update the firmware, because i get an error during the update. The printer is connecter via USB

The printer sometimes prints normally if it feels like it. Don't know whats the culprit there.

Try the following link about 2/3rd's of the way down:

My original search came up with what appeared to be a bogus "look alike" link that was not "Brother" at all.

Go back, search again, but watch carefully. Find the real "Brother" website.
