I had this problem once, yellow ink tube was not hooked up to yellow print head correctly. Just detached/attached tube, problem was solved. Good luck

you've done cleanings, but have you gone in with the cleaning swabs and a flash light?

Usually when I have this problem, I clean 3 or 4 times....then frustration sets in and I call "Rich" my Brother GT541 guy....he tells me "Clean it again" lol

This is usually when I get in there and get a bit more aggressive with my cleaning. The last one I did, I pulled gunk out of places I didnt know gunk could accumulate. With that gunk were those almost invisible long pieces of fuzz.

So....lift the lid of your machine and get to cleaning. Everywhere! Even the bar that the print head slides across. You just dont know where that one piece of lint is that is causing the skipping.

Do you have a tech close by that you can call to have them come and look at it if all the cleaning doesnt work?
