I did it, but eventually it didn’t. So I gave in and replaced the toner.

I got nearly 3k prints from the starter cartridge, so not bad. My replacement should get like 25k. Given that I had the original for ~8 years, I don’t think I’ll ever need a B&W printer ever again.

Same here. You need to reset the gear under the toner end cover.

Pop the end cover via two or three screws, then rotate the white gear back to 12 o’clock

Ah. I’ll try to remember that when my toner goes out again in like 10 years.

Try it on the old toner if you can fish it out of the trash

Ah ok mine is newer. I just run the cartridges dry after turning that option off.

Probably. I had to enter a special code, which overrode the block on printing, and that worked for a few hundred prints. But then I couldn’t override it anymore.
