Yes, that's the kind of printer I want! Where does one get a printer that refuses to print when it thinks you've had enough? On my printer, the toner is used up when the page comes out blank. Is this too simple?

I'm curious what you are experiencing with "refilled" toner cartridges. Here is my experience:

What I bought for my printer is a "chip reset " that puts your printer calcs back to 100% after you refill your cartridge. I do my own cartridge refills and reset each time. You need the correct chip reset for your machine, and if you get a refilled one from a 3rd party provider, they may not have reset it correctly for your machine. This could be the reason for the different numbers of pages you can print, maybe. The printer may think the cartridge is empty and refuse to print more, even if there is still ink in it...Doug F
