Dust on Toner drum
i have had my Brother HL-2040 printer in storage for the last 5 months, i kept in in in my high humidity basement with the toner in a plastic bag next to the printer

now i hooked it up, it printed two pages that were 100% black, now it won't print and says "Dust on Drum", has anyone seen this with a printer? do i just need a new toner cartridge, or can it be cleaned, or is it a faulty printer?

Na, it just sounds like the drum unit needs to be cleaned. A painless task !

Do you still have the user manual for it ? If not, you can download or view the manual from the Brother site

Take the toner cartridge out and give it a good shake and see if that makes a difference.

Could be with the humidity that it has damaged the toner and it's sticking and might need to be replaced.

ok, well i beat that cartridge senseless, I'm guessing that your right high humidity probably destroyed the toner as i can kinda see the outline of what I'm printing so I'm assuming that the rest of the printer is working

Change the cartridge and everything will probably be tickety-boo.
