Some features don't function with my USB connection

This probably has more to do with the printer driver than your cable. Click on the link below, select drivers and in the box below select the operating system you are using. If you have the right driver let us know what operating system you were using on your old PC and what are you using on your new laptop. Thanks and please don?t forget to rate this posting.

Blinking green light

Try disconnecting the computer from the printer and shutting it down by removing the power cord and then also shut down the computer for a minute or so and then reboot it and check in "Printers" and see if it has anything waiting to be printed and if so clear out the queue. Flashing green light indicates that the printer is receiving data from the computer and/or printing so you shut it all down and cold reboot to clear out the computer confusion in both the computer and the printer.

Tried 1) reducing amount of paper, 2) cleaning corona wire, 3) checked for jams in toner cartridge and back door, 4) blew dust out of tray with compressed air. Any suggestions?

Check the paper flag in the cavity where the tray goes. If you are getting a constant no paper message that flag might be broken. Here is the Brother explanation of errors What do the LED indications mean Brother

I need the part number for the spring that goes on the left side front gear that drives the paper feed rollers.

You want to be certain about the part before you buy. However I can spot that part only if I am certain about the model number of your printer at the first place. Product Information Product Search Results Brother Solutions Center
