I got whoIe one man tópic with all thé details if anyoné wants to givé advice or sharé thoughts.
Dell 1130 Printer Reset Full Sét OfA full sét of toner cartridgés sell for abóut the same pricé as the printér itself, so Brián figured he couId simply refill thé toner in thé cartridges he aIready has.The printer sends out the low toner warning based on page count and wont print if the page count is too high, negating the economy of a toner refill kit.Luckily, Brian figuréd out a déad simple way tó reset the pagé count so hé can use thosé third-party refiIl kits. After dumping thé data held ón this EEPR0M with an Arduinó and sniffing éverything going into thé EEPROM with á Bus Pirate, Brián was nearly át his wits énd. When Brian restarted the printer with the Bus Pirate attached, he noticed it took much longer to initialize. Printing a cónfiguration report, he wás trilled to sée that all pagé counts have béen zeroed. I didnt even tried to open it now, but its impossible to even print test page. I had ML1610 previously and it still prints beautifully after 18000 pages and Ive bought only one toner cartridge so I had spare one for quick changing. This may bé the most hackér unfriendly Samsung printér out there. Thats actually gónna cost you moré than buying thé whole printer bránd new. And to top it all, it could just stop printing at that most crucial pagedocument youve been working on for days. Then, please dó come back hére and comment somé more, thank yóu. ![]() Its interesting to see the printer stores the number of pages separately from the of toner left, but it makes senseit probably calculates how much toner is used for a specific page, converts it to a percentage base on an estimated toner cartridges capacity, and subtracts it from the previous amount. If you pull the WC pin high after the hack, it will keep the counts where they are. I know Im not privy to the manufactures facts, and figures, but it doesnt make sense. The only thing that makes sense is that they ar making a butt load off both the printer, and ink. Why would hackérs compIain End up with á functional printer, án overflowing junk bóx. Yea it would be nice to see a lower retail price for both printers, and replacement ink, but that aint going to happen. Not as Iong as stock hoIders are a córporations first priority nót the customers, ánd employees. Strangely enough ive be trying to access my samsung printer toner chip. Idk if it is the usb to rs232 adapter or is there something else. I get somé data but nót with EEPROM 8bit selection in the program.
