2.0 out of 5 stars Duplexing a problem for this cartridge, February 20, 2011

This review is from: Samsung Toner 5K High Yield for ML-2851ND (ML-D2850B) (Office Product)

After installing the new toner cartridge, the duplexing feature caused the printer to jam about 90% of the time. The old cartridge continued to function well. In comparing the two cartridges, I noticed that a small hole on the "bottom" of the new cartridge was a little smaller in diameter - perhaps 1/64". There is a small white pin in the printer which apparently must go into that hole when it is duplexing. I oiled the hole with a Q-tip containing vegetable oil and the printer is now failing only about 5% of the time. When these toner cartridges are so expensive, it is disappointing that one must trouble-shoot the problem or return the cartridge.

This is the first cartridge I have had to buy for my Samsung ML-2851ND printer. i inserted it, and it went to printing right away. The printer firmware properly identified the cartridge, and my prints are clear again. What more can you say about a replacement toner cartridge?

I think what is of more interest to owners of the printers that use this cartridge is whether or not the useful life is going to be as advertised. I replaced the starter cartridge provided with my printer with this new one. I had to choose the extended life cartridge because of a current class I am taking. The class uses an electronic book instead of a traditional, printed and bound book. I don't like trying to read books on a computer screen, so have been printing out the chapters of the e-book needed for homework. This takes an enormous amount of paper (even with the duplexer) and toner. Having provided some background about my printing needs, I can say that the cartridge that was replaced lasted just a few pages more than the advertised 2000 pages of the starter/standard cartridge. Since I have left most of my print quality settings at default, I'm hoping this cartridge will yield 5000+ pages per its specification claim. Time will tell and I can update this review then.

April 4, 2011 - I have to update this review because I recently had to replace this cartridge with a new one. I went ahead and bought another cartridge of this type, but I am very disappointed with its longevity. My printing habits have not changed since I ordered this first cartridge. However, this cartridge started running out after 4000 pages. That's 20% less than the rated output for this cartridge. At 4500 pages, this cartridge was completely spent. When the cost of the 2000 page cartridge (basically the same as the starter cartridge) is considered, the cost per page when this cartridge is used is actually higher. I had to lower my rating for this product because of that. If the replacement cartridge of the same type yields a higher output, I'll update this rating again.

October 25, 2011 - I just replaced the second, extended life cartridge after almost 5200 prints. Nothing has changed in my printing habits except that I leave the printer powered on all the time. I have learned from another printer manufacturer that power cycling some laser printers count against the toner counter in the printer firmware. I can't imagine that would account for almost 700 pages, but I won't rule out that helping with the life of this last toner. The only other implication is either a lack of uniformity in the production of these toners, or I managed to get the one toner that was under the toner funnel when the toner supply ran short. I'll leave my rating as-is for now. If the toner life gets more consistent, I will improve it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cartridge Prints - had a little smudge on one side, January 25, 2010

Easy to install. Worked instantly. Only complaint was that it was putting a continuous smudge on the right side of the paper. I took it out, cleaned off the roller and shook it gently to spread the toner out. That seemed to do the job.
