UPDATE August 6, 2009:
I’ve tried and tried so many ways. . . but to no success. . . I have to buy the regular, more expensive cartridges, and I consider this to be ethically questionable.
My original trick DOES NOT WORK!
Other than this, it’s a great product, but I would recommend avoiding this at all costs due to the fact that you have to always buy the most expensive cartridges.
If anyone can confirm that it’s just me that’s had problems with cartridges and have a solution, please let me know so that I can give this a higher rating.
I would give this a 4 star rating if it accepted the “compatible” cartridges.
ORIGINAL REVIEW
Using this trick makes this printer worth the money.
Brother MFC-7440N “Toner Life End”
If you get this message, try putting a piece of masking tape on the toner cartridge hole on the right side. It’s a translucent, white, circle that the printer “looks” through to detect how much toner is in the cartridge. You usually can extend the life quite a bit until the toner actually runs out.
If the error message remains, even when you replace it with new, re manufactured toner cartridges, then you’ll need to bite the bullet, and buy an “authorized” toner cartridge.
At least, that’s what I did to make the error message disappear. Then, I just switched out my old toner cartridge to make it work again.

I really like this product. My wife and I share it on the network, for inexpensive printing. The copying is really easy, scanning to stacks of documents to .pdf over our networking is great. The dedicated FAX is a bonus. Don’t know why we didn’t go this way earlier. Works well, and less expensive than other name brands.

I feel almost guilty buying this machine so cheap. I currently own 3 Brother printers and they have all been great machines. The Toner is very reasonable (non oem) making the cost per page very cheap and I am a cheap guy. I think I like the 7440 the best because of its small footprint and dependability.

Setup was a breeze. Wired network setup was flawless. Printed using a Mac, the s/w installed and setup without a hitch. Page quality is great.
Have not tried scanning or faxing yet.
Was going to get color but the cost of multiple toner cartridges is what made me decide to stick with monochrome for now.

This couldn’t have been any easier to set up for my mac. I had a direct usb connection to my main iMac. I then connected an ethernet cable to my wireless router and the other end to the backside of the printer. I then went to the system preferences on my mac laptop, clicked on printer & fax, and then clicked on add a printer. It automatically recognized the printer wirelessly. Presto! I just had my first official wireless print job from my mac laptop. Boy does it feel good!
