Samsung ML-1740 Printer

This looks to be one heck of a good cheap printer. I know it comes with a starter cart with 1000 pages capabilities. Can you get the re-fill toner for those? Or do you have to buy the real, 3000 page cart, then re-fill that?

I have the ml-1210, it uses the same toner cartridge I believe. It is a great printer, I have had mine for about 4 years it seems, only changed the toner once and finally opted for the actual replacement from samsung because there are about a million different types of laser toner and if you get the wrong one the toner will not work, it will smear or gunk up the machine. Laser toner is not all equal, they each have different mixes of ink and filler and other crap designed for the heat, speed and whatever on each machine. Never bothered me though, took a couple of years for the first one to go and that was when I was in college, now I use it less but every time I turn it on it works and it still prints fast and sharp. Beats the living crap out of any bubblejet for longevity and never having to worry about wether or not the cartridge is clogged or dried out or running out in the middle of something.

I would never refill a toner cartridge if you value your printer. As the other poster said, if you get a different type you could mess up your printer pretty bad. Toner is not fun to clean up.

But when you paid as much for the printer as you do a new toner it might not matter.
