Like other reviewers here, I was unable to get this drum to work reliably in duplex mode. It would print 3-5 pages and then cause a paper jam. It was really frustrating.

As a last resort, I tried swapping out the drum component....let me explain....I had actually kept the old original Brother drum unit. I remove a couple clips and took out the drum component...the cylindrical part and transferred the one from this replacement drum into the old Brother drum unit.

Now, everything works reliably including duplexing. I''ve just printed 60 duplex pages without any problems.

I suspect the replacement cartridge component is not to the exact spec required and thus the cause of the paper jams. As long as I keep the original Brother cartridge, I can now keep buying these cheap replacement drums.

*EDIT* After 2 weeks with this thing, I have seen it is not perfect, but still worth the price. Specifically, it jams frequently when using full duplex printing. I have pretty much given up on using full duplex with this drum.

Just received this generic drum replacement for my HL-5250DN and after some fiddling it appears that it will be just fine, and at about 1/6th the cost of the OEM version.

One hint, after installing my printer still thought it was using a nearly-dead drum unit. After extensive Googling I was able to find the drum unit count reset procedure, which is this:

1. Open printer door (The same one you opened to take out the toner/drum)

2. Hold down the GO button until all the lights on the top are lit up

3. Release GO button

4. Close door

5. Print at least 5 test pages

This worked like a charm for me

If you print double-sided, and who doesn''t these days to save paper, then this drum is not for you. Like the other reviewers say, you will get a jam for almost every single page you print. It''s garbage! If you print single-sided, it appears to work just fine. I''ve only printed a few pages while trying to debug all these jams. There''s a good chance it won''t hold up under heavy use as the heat wears down the cheap components.

I priced the OEM version of the Brother DR520 drum at two local office supply shops. Both wanted close to $200. I could not figure out how a simple assembly could cost so much so I purchased one online through Amazon for under $40. It works perfectly. It was packed very well. Delivery time was under a week. It has been in place for three weeks with no problems of any sort. Given the success of this purchase, I will be buying toner cartridges from this vendor as well.

This product is performing as well as the orignal Brother drum. Even if it does last as long,and I have no reason to beleive that it won''t, it was absolutely worth the money I saved on this purchase. gg
