Hacking the Samsung CLP-315 Laser Printer 03 March 2012 on,,,, I am the happy owner of a laser printer. It is a fantastic printer for the price.

Things were going great until it came time to replace the toner. At the time, the price of a full set of toner cartridges was around $150.

To put things in perspective, the printer itself could be. 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. As it turns out, the answer is yes but in the end it was worth it. This is going to be a long post, so strap yourself in. If you’d prefer to cheat, you can skip straight to the.

How Stuff Works Since I last purchased a laser printer (my circa 2001 is still kicking) the industry has changed. 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. The printers then use these page counts to project how much toner remains in the cartridge. To my knowledge, the cartridges don’t have a way to sense how much toner remains.

Depending on several factors (driving style, load, tire pressure, etc), the amount of fuel consumed in a mile can vary wildly. The end result; you either waste gas, or run out. Neither is good. The same can be said for the way modern laser printers track toner.

This causes two problems. First, toner is likely being wasted (which irks me). Second, refilling the cartridges with toner purchased in bulk does nothing to reset the accumulated page count. It is like putting gasoline in your tank, but not being able to start the car until the odometer is reset. Knowing all this, the only thing standing between me and was finding a way to reset the counters. Unsurprisingly, I am not the first person to try to address this problem.
