Summary: 5 Stars
After going through several of these and printing over 55k pages, I have made the following observations:
1. You can refill this cartridge somewhat easily. However, do not expect to get more than 15,000 pages out of it, regardless of toner use. This is because (and it has been consistent with this number) after 15k pages, the developer on this cartridge (yes, it is more than just a box) wears out, and either starts to unevenly apply toner to the drum, or starts leaking toner out onto the printer and paper in small specks to small puddles.
2. If you use the "cover the sensor hole" trick, the printer will keep increasing the charge on the cartridge as the page count goes up from when it was last replaced. This is because as it empties, it expects more of a charge to apply toner to the developer. You can do the trick, but in my experience, you'll have to adjust the density because printouts start coming out too dark.
3. This cartridge comes with a reset gear to signal the printer you installed a new toner cartridge. This also resets the charge the printer applies, which in turn gives that new slightly light look to printouts. If you didn't do the sensor trick and the printer says your cartridge is empty, you cannot print anymore until the gear signals the printer (this happens on my new HL-5240 purchased in Feb 09. It didn't happen with my HL-5250DN purchased in Nov of 07. Go figure.)
4. If you are experiencing the problems mentioned in point one, replace the toner cartridge. If you are experiencing defects every few inches, or have a growing vertical stripe of white forming, it's time for a new drum.
5. By the way, if you don't have the problems mentioned in point 4, but the printer wants you to replace the drum due to printing 25k pages, hold the go button until all the lights come on while the toner door is open. This resets the page count for the drum. BEWARE though, as the toner waste compartment in the drum assembly will fill up eventually and will spill into the printer if you do this. Check for this and you will be fine.
6. Don't like this whole business of replacing cartridges and want the lowest cost per a page of any printer? Consider a Kyocera printer. Of course, you get what you pay for, they are expensive. Do what I did, buy it on an online auction site. Some of their $1500+ printers are going for only $200, mostly because so few know about their reputation. Check out their knives and pens too. All of those products I mentioned use Kyocera's ceramic technology in one way or another to make their stuff top notch.
