To my knowledge, the cartridges don’t have a way to sense how much toner remains.
The printers then use these page counts to project how much toner remains in the cartridge. Imagine that!? Apparently, it is now common practice for printers and even toner cartridges themselves to count the number of pages that have been printed in order to track the consumption of toner. Since I last purchased a laser printer (my circa 2001 LaserJet 1200 is still kicking) the industry has changed. If you’d prefer to cheat, you can skip straight to the good stuff. This is going to be a long post, so strap yourself in. Not being the type of person who so easily bends to the will of “The Man”, I set out on a journey to find a cheaper source of toner.Ī “journey”? Really? As it turns out, the answer is yes but in the end it was worth it. To put things in perspective, the printer itself could be acquired for less on eBay. At the time, the price of a full set of toner cartridges was around $150. Things were going great until it came time to replace the toner. I am the happy owner of a Samsung CLP-315 laser printer.
