Cleaning the printhead with warm water of compressed air should do the trick. However, sometimes it can be a software issue, so also try to reinstall the drivers. To find out how to properly clean and use your unit, download the official MFC 495cw users manual

SOURCE: My Printer will not print

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.
