    Resolved [RESOLVED] Preventing printer from cleaning

    I have a Brother MFC-J485DW about a year. It's my first totally digital printer and I feel out of control. I fixed my old HP 970 many times by myself and kept it well over 12 years.

    I print only few times a week but enough to prevent ink drying up. About once a week it wants to clean the cartridges, and I have to pull open the ink cover to stop it. It wastes ink, which is already in short supply (My old printer had a 42 ml black cartridge.) I already asked at a Brother forum, and was told, (not a joke,) that Brother knows what's best for my printer and I shouldn't fool with it.

    It must be on some kind of schedule, but I can't find anything in the Advanced Manual.
