Repairs and Service
Printer Repair
Laserjet printers, copiers, and fax machines can be repaired in-store, and sometimes on-site. We can take a quick look at your printer to determine if the problem is something simple, or if we will need to take a longer look. If you have to drop it off, we will charge $35 for the initial diagnosis. If it's not worth fixing, we will let you know.

Inkjet printers are usually not worth fixing. A simple diagnosis might be all you will get.
Most inkjet problems involve clogged nozzles in the printhead. If you are getting an unsatisfactory print, try cleaning your printhead (click here for instructions).

If you own a Brother inkjet printer, search online to find out how to access "maintenance mode" to access "power purge" options. This is only if you have not had success with the main cleaning function.
To perform power-purge on the Brother MFC-J470DW or MFC-J475DW, enter the following key sequence:
-
Fax
-
Menu
-
Black/Color Start
-
0
-
763
-
use left/right arrow keys to choose which color to purge.
The Brother MFC-J480DW or MFC-J485DW may not have a power-purge option, since the regular cleaning process gives advanced cleaning choices.
