I sometimes just cover that sensor with a piece of black electrical tape so it thinks the toner is always full. You can usually find this sensor by removing the cartridge and checked the perimeter where it sits. Usually, laser printers (at least the ones I’ve dealt with)use a sensor to ‘see’ how much toner is left in the cartridge. When the “cartridge empty” comes on it doesn’t mean that the cartridge has no toner left in it, just that the stuff left in there has (by calculation based on some average numbers) a highish proportion non-toner crud mixed in.Īre their calculations done giving a more than generous safety margin to the manufacturers? I’ve no doubt that the answer to that one is yes, but you should be aware that print quality does deteriorate over time if you force a cartridge to print a long way beyond its rated life, and that there is a risk of biggish lumps of this crud causing more problems. But some cheap laser printers don’t have a seperate container for this waste toner and just mix it back in with the new stuff.

Every time you put in a new toner cartridge then you would put in a new collection bottle (it’s not usually suitable for recycling because it’s contaminated with dust from the air and from the paper, plus whatever else happens to be floating around that part of your printer, and so won’t for sure take the electrostatic charge needed to make the process work). Older printers used to have a seperate container for collecting this.

We imagine that since he’s using Linux, the process could probably be scripted to save time, though we’re not sure if the same can be said for Windows-based PCs. While a bit time consuming, his workaround should let him get by on this toner cartridge at least for a little while longer. After a few shell commands, he had his document converted and was on to bigger and better things.

He discovered that his printer’s software allowed him to specify a custom test page document, though it required that the document be in PostScript format. Annoyed at the fact that he felt Samsung was trying to strong arm him into buying another pricey toner cartridge, he looked for a way around the restriction. He held down the button that prints a test page, which came out just fine despite the printer’s insistence that there was not enough toner left. Unable to find any documentation explaining the issue, he called Samsung directly and found that it was indicating the toner cartridge was nearly empty. Was getting ready to print out an assignment when his Samsung printer suddenly started blinking a red error light at him.
