Flasherly
Had it with my broken crap Canon, HP, and Oki 6e laser. They went to
the big 1000-year landfill in the sky. Mulling on the new generation
Canon "photo" printers (4, 6 inkwells - useless to me, as I'm a b-&-w
text person). Then I got an advertisement and after a preliminary
assessment, figured past a few books and paying for itself, I'd go a
new Samsung. (Kept my Epson and WC Panasonic dotmatrixes for
beaters). "Trying this", once again, with the Samsung -- not to break
by, hopefully, more of a non-lazy regard for technological sensitivity
obviously than 24-pin impacts involve. (Translated, least amount of
screwing around with technology as possible with an idiot-proof
laser). Samsung toner cartridge carries the optical drum, which I'll
be attempting to refill with a mind for reading material. A
reasonably "clean" output would be nice to consistently maintain --
three or more subsequent refills would be great, even two. Here's
what I've come up with notes/observations from others I've assembled.
Feel free to aide and add or strike vengefully as fit.
Pretty much work inside printer with lint-free, dry cleaning inside;-
Exception paper-path, direct transport-only rubber (a few, usually
small) rollers -- damp alcohol or water swab (a better household
chemical item good for "grip" welcome).
Spongy rubber roller is the TRANSFER ROLLER - consists of specially
**conductive** rubber foam, and charges paper positively. Touching w/
skin oils will damage. Use rubber gloves and clean w/ an unused sheet
of paper. !! ONLY USE DRY PAPER (!NO WATER OR CHEMICALS) !!

Don't leave on toner save mode -- burns out drum over time.
ALWAYS clean out spare toner on empty condition before refill (use
compressed air or vacuum). There's apparently no waste toner
compartment on these operations -- it gets cycled back into the common
toner reservoir.
17mm hole for filling (lacking a refill hole? -- tape to cover OK).
Not sure it's an issue with the stock 500-1000 "starter" unit, and, if
it is, I'm thinking a plain soldering iron after determining a
suitable/indicated location. (Have a pdf circulated by a commonly
marketed refill outfit, covering most laser makes).
Cleaning - never touch toner cartidge green surface, cover with paper
to prevent exposure to light, careful of downward pressure when
situated above and working on unit, & etc....

Comment found elsewhere:
Feeding problem. Cleaning the rough rubber band on the roller inside
the printer with a moist cloth. This worked for us. Paper pick-up
requires constant cleaning/rejuvenation. Otherwise prints flawlessly
and in good quality. Cleaning is an easy process, and if you are
willing to clean every 100 pages or so.
Evidently this guy eventually developed a feeding problem.
Comment, ditto:...
Samsung I recall reading that they mill their toner to be extremely
fine, which is probably
who generic refills don't give dark results--the toner is too
heavy.)
So, that's the worst of it, using generic toner may result in lighter
print? Hm...
I recall another comment on a replacement with "oversized" fuse, after
the original factory fuse is preset and tripped off a onboard printer,
page-count ROM routine;- if the replacement is signaled to trip, but
too big to blow, the intent is to keep on printing, possibly with a
red control error flashing (can be taped over).
Samsung's fuser unit "power thing". A/C wall thumper is on the same
120V leg as my computer, which it coexists with fine from a power
strip. The A/C compressor however stutters a little, so I raise its
temperature off the compressor while printing. 32" HDTV for a monitor
appears to evince no subsequent pwr-related anomalies.
