Once "Change Drum"came up, but it has not since come up. The window just shows :Stack copies.

I see.
First of all, make sure the cartridge/ toner is installed correctly. If not, you need to remove it from the printer and reinsert it.
Customer Reply
I did. Now it says 'Replace Drum".

Did you open your Printers?
You need to set up your printer default:

Yes

Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Try printing from some other application. If you succeed to print from another application, there is a problem in the application that you have been trying to use.
Customer Reply
I clicked on default for my printer model number.

Please, turn your Brother machine off and restart the computer. And then turn your Brother machine on again.

Got you, can you try the last step again and then reboot?
Customer Reply
Isn't that lt step a reboot?
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
This time don't reboot the PC, just the printer itself, if that won't work I suggest re-seating the cartridges
Customer Reply
I did that. It is printing. Do I need to buy a new drum?
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Depends, did the error appear again?
Customer Reply
Yes. Also it just printed something in a foreign language that I did not order!
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Can you try printing a document of your own?
Also, prior to this re-seat the cartridges
Customer Reply
Should we reset the application to my model number?
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Nothing of that sort yet, can you tell me if you re-seated the cardridges?
Customer Reply
Yes.
I reset the toner inside the drum.
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Understood, thanks for the info
Customer Reply
I tried printing a document--theone showing on the screen we are talking on, but it will not print it. The others it just printed were already in the machine.
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Verify that the Brother printer in the list. If the Brother printer is not listed, the driver may not be installed properly.
Make sure your Brother machine is set as Default Printer.
For that you need to open the printer folder first
Customer Reply
I just Reser it to default for my model number and it now prints the document I just sent!
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
The factory reset you mean?
Customer Reply
I guess so. It is the one on the folder for the applications. Is that the factory Reser?
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
It is not the factory reset, could you please tell me if the printer works now?
Customer Reply
yes.
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
Perfect!
Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Customer Reply
What about the drum? Should I replace it?
Anna Chernetska
Anna Chernetska Tech Expert & Writer
No need to replace it now!
