Brother Printer No Paper Error [FIXED] Orange Solid LED on 2270DW

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Can't tell you how many perfectly good printers we've probably tossed over the years thinking they were dead. Thanks for this!

[@MrNoahTall]

I bought this workhorse 10 years ago for graduate school. Today, solid orange. Thanks to you, it's back in service after a decade of great work.

[@FaridShahidinejad]

Same here. This is the very first time I had issues with it, ever. Fixed in 2 minutes.

[@herbdyer4145]

Unpacked my 2270DW after movers had it, and that little gear was offset, thanks No matter how much you wrap stuff, the internals move during shipping. You win my internet today...

[@musicman949]

Super cool of you to post this video. Was going crazy trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with a printer I have used for 8 years with no issues. I was about to toss it when I finally went to Google and found your video. #lifesaver!

[@mjosbena]

My printer has been "broken" for over a month and I haven't had time to look it. Your video "fixed" it and now my 2270WD workhorse (I agree with many others about how amazing this printer has been over the years) is back working perfectly. I can't thank you enough.

[@nieshadorsey2946]

Thank you for this video! I have been frustrated with this printer for MONTHS and because of your video it was a 5 min fix! Thank you!

[@kristensvensson5568]

Thank you so much! and if anyone needs the factory reset afterward 1. Open up top front panel. 2. Turn on power switch WHILE holding green GO button. 3. Three lights should be lit, let go of the GO button. 4. Press GO button 10 times in succession. 5. Close cover. 6. Press GO one last time.

[@deniseweavinghannah]

You solved our problem today! It took us 2 tries and then we got it right! So helpful! We were about to order a new printer. Also called Brother tech support line and they wanted to charge us $150 for a new "driver". That wan't even the issue! Thank you!

[@anavias]

Fantastic. Saved me throwing the printer out to just buy a new one. luckily my fix was super easy and just need to move the dislodged tab back but it is great to see you go over the other options including the part required if it gets more broken. Great work with the video!

[@debussyx]

You're awesome! Fixed my 10 year old printer with this video. Hoping for another 10 years of service.

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help, glad you saved it from the trash 🤠🤝

[@dickydesai7609]

fantastic! what a simple solution. My machine's actuator was pushed out of place because using recycled paper a few times it had caught on staples that were not removed or missed before loading in the paper tray. Thank you.

[@NinaDMB69]

I have had this printer for years and I love it, little beast. I didn't use it the last few years but decided to take a part time office I use and it wouldn't print. I was ready to cry. I tried this video once and couldn't get it fixed, probably because I have no patience. Tried again today fixed in 5 minutes

[@thecollegepicker]

Great to hear! Glad you got it going

[@rubychapman379]

Thanks so much. A friend of mine gave me this printer brand-new because she couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. I was grateful to receive. A simple KZbin search brought me to you and now I have a brand-new working printer for my home office.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome.

[@fluhartz]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Saved my wifes printer of this exact same model. Quick easy fix and I was so frustrated... thank you

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad it helped! You are welcome

[@davide4238]

Amazing! Totally love this printer for kids coloring sheets and papers for my classes in university. In my case the clip that broke made it dislodge all the time. I ended up using a tiny paper clip and bending it in such way it retains the white piece from dislodging again. its back to work and running like a charm. Thanks for this video.

[@v.n.4276]

It just dawned on me you should get an environmental award! The thousands of printers you saved from the landfill! Incredible! Thanks again :-D

[@Mydogisahobbit28]

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! I needed to print some important papers for days and thought I needed to get a new printer. Thank you for saving me so much money and time

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Enjoy the extra time and money 💲 🤝

[@LauraProf1]

Oh my goodness, I was about to give up on this printer when I came across your video. Same problem and your wonderful tips fixed it, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@mikeyspeeds1056]

Mine just did the exact thing! I was about to go nuts trying to understand WHY!!! It's fixed! Thanks!

[@nicosiv]

I am the least techie person in the world, but thanks to you I fixed my printer. Same exact issue you had. It makes me think of all the printers that get put in the trash when a simple fix was all it needed. It was almost me, I went online browsing for new printers before I saw this video!

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 🤝

[@omaral-shebeeb1797]

You are the best and my hero. I got my printer fixed because of your video and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you so much!

[@IsaacKuo]

This fix video just now saved me! Yay, I've got an old printer functioning now! For now. It's still kinda struggling.

[@v.n.4276]

You're a champ! This was exactly what I needed. Looks like it's a failure point after 8-10 yrs of working. This printer is amazing and glad I don't have to replace it. Thank you!!

[@faisalamin8366]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video. I had become so frustrated that I couldn't get my printer to work and thought it was a goner after 10.5 years of great service. Following the easy directions in your video, my printer is working again.

[@kalmirza2564]

Awesome!!! That little plastic thingy was out whack for me!!! Lifesaver video. Thank you!!!

[@mercsystemscyber6418]

Thank you so much .After being stuck for a whole day, I have managed to get it done ALL BY MYSELF .Thanks so much and next time you are in Africa, come for a glass of wine. Mercs Cyber

[@jeffhnf]

You are the saver, which I plan to spend S$ 208 to buy a new one, but your tips save it!

[@ClarkBeattie14]

Duuuuuude...... I have only two words for you. YOU ROCK!!!

[@RaymondLo84]

the tab thing you mentioned was gold. THANK YOU

[@p.o.5009]

Thank you so much! This saved me a lot of trouble. I didn't even need to remove the back half of the panel to poke the little plastic piece back into place.

[@andrewtider3692]

Thanks so much for this video. I rarely fix electronics myself but this worked perfectly. You’re awesome!

[@jasonvega5797]

Awesome, bro! That was the issue. Since the little tab that slides in the curved track broke, I assumed that it might slip out again, so I just wedged something behind the white clip to keep it depressed. I'll just have to watch periodically for low paper. Thanks man!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome, happy to help!

[@cfreidma5518]

Thank you very much. I was able to fix mine. Just spent 50 on a new cartridge and thought that was the problem but nooooo. Anyways I had to take the spindle off to see what I was doing to place the loose piece. I wasn't sure of the exact placement of it and didn't want to make matters worse. You saved me $$. Thanks again!

[@kehao95]

Thank you! I had the exact same problem since I moved. The little plastic was dislocated while the printer was moved in boxes. I was almost going to throw it away before I saw your video. You video saved it with a quick and easy fix of 5min.

[@thecollegepicker]

Oh good! Happy to help 🤝

[@Surfitrob]

U da Man! WOW! Super easy fix. I moved the printer to a new place and the phasic doohickey came loose! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@thecollegepicker]

You're welcome!

[@bee5406]

thanks bro you've just provided an antidote as the printer have nearly driven me crazy but your video have saved the situation as mine is fixed now once again thank you

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 🤝

[@vaughnwoodruff3609]

Thanks so much...I've never had a an issue with this printer in the years I've had it. Pretty stoked that this was able to fix it. Cheers!

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad it worked out 🤝

[@Nathan_x7]

I ordered a drum, thinking thta was tyhe problem, but no. Your video helped me fix it. Thanks. Brother rule!!! ;-)

[@rgoose9592]

Woohoo!! You helped solve the issue with our printer! Thank you!

[@carlamarcantel91]

Thank you, Eric. I managed to, at least temporarily, fix the issue. I have the identical printer in your video. It's been a great little printer! (I didn't actually have to remove either of the side pieces and not sure exactly what was wrong but I just kind of jiggled that little piece you mentioned that might have been dislodged. For now, we are back in business. Thank you for your video help!

[@aprilmassingale6994]

Thank you! I was ready to buy a new printer. Such a simple fix😊

[@chrisagra1390]

Just used this video to fix our printer. Thank you very much!! 🙏

[@Starbless]

Worked perfect, great instructions, easy to follow and fixed the issue 🙏

[@manfromatlants]

Thanks man fixed my problem in a minute.

[@user-ug9ir6if5n]

Thank you for this video! So happy my printer 'Media Jam / No Paper" problem is solved!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome.

[@antoniomedina9378]

dude literally been fighting my printer after paper was jammed for like an hour TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sonnyvan2759]

Thank you so much! This saved me from having to buy a new printer.

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 😊

[@FaridShahidinejad]

I didn't need to follow the entire set of instructions. As soon as I popped the first side panel out, I was able to reach that white part that had become dislodged. I didn't really need to even remove the entire panel altogether. Just an inch is enough to jam your finger down and put it back in place. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@jenniferw2770]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I found that the white piece has a nub that is supposed to hold it in a slot and that broke off. It is a tiny piece smaller than a lady bug. So I put it back in place and am holding it with a small binder clip. The side won't go back on with the binder clip, but the printer does work.

[@thecollegepicker]

Good work! Glad you got it printing again

[@jerryjaggers]

Thank you so much. It worked and saved me having to buy a new printer.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Saved it from the trash 🤝

[@guliegirl]

it worked! please be careful trying this don't pull up on that little piece i made it come out of place but managed to wiggle it back in and push it down in the right place.

[@thomwigle2240]

You're awesome bud. Thanks lots. Exactly the issue I had. New life for my old printer. THANKS!!!

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad I could help!

[@aintammysbirthdaybash9185]

Omg!!!!!!! Thank you so much! It was really really simple to fix! You're the bomb!

[@couch209]

Excellent video that solved the problem! Thanks so much!!

[@sherylla2516]

You're a genius! It worked. Thanks.

[@hillebrs]

[@ChadMagnum-zz6zw]

Genius! Thanks for posting. This was a lifesaver for me, worked briliantly!

[@DanwilkeningW2]

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! Your instructionsi were spot on.

[@tinaw2300]

Thank you! My printer suddenly stopped picking up paper, this fixed it!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 🤠

[@tjsandovich3598]

Thanks! That worked, but not how I expected. The little white plastic was where it was supposed to be. But the second gear was deep inside the machine, so I pushed the white plastic forward and the two gears engaged. Unfortunately, the white plastic disappeared. How, I don't know. It's probably in the printer somewhere. But the two gears have remained engaged nonetheless, so now it's working! Thanks for the video.

[@christym3121]

Can you explain which gear wasn’t engaged and how to to that? I moved the plastic like he said but still not working

[@spinynorman1562]

I couldn't get the cover off at the back and ended up cracking it, but no matter - your fix worked and my trusty HP 2270DW lives to see another day (or months, or years!) in the home office. Thanks, Eric! 👍👍

[@Graham_Wideman]

I hereby add my thanks for your to-the-point video which solved my printer's problem too. I so wish that manufacturers of printers published a list of all the sensors and interlocks in their printers, and which error or indicator light each one corresponds to. Instead, we're just left in the dark with a printer that knows what the problem is, but won't tell us.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Happy to help

[@norrisbankhead8957]

Thanks Eric! Your instructions worked perfectly! I thought I would be purchasing a new printer. Appreciate you

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Happy to save your printer from the trash and save you some money and headache. 🙏 Appreciate you!

[@MannyCraig]

Hi, took my printer cover apart just like the video, found broken white tab, put a pierce of hard candy (Jolly Rancher) to keep the lever "ON". Printer works like a champ now, its not stupid if it works..lol..

[@ErikkGeannikis]

saved my printer dude-- thanks so much

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome bro.

[@DrFunFong]

So, once this problem happens and it is addressed and fixed, would it be better to replace this part or is this just a handling and positioning problem?

[@MT-te3zc]

thanks for the video, i fixed the same error.

[@ItsMe-by4fs]

life saver, thanks a lot, so easy!

[@ashleyheath7054]

It worked! Thank you so much!!!

[@StevenASullam]

I had to go back to this to get it working again.

[@mercuziox]

yes it works was just that piece of withe plastic not connected with the one of the tray, so if you push/ press the tray and the printer hard it works

[@klam77]
