I would never dispute the fact that a toner cartridge that counts images and dies at 700 prints is
a screwed up problem.
BUT
THE REASON TO USE THE PANTUM AT ALL IS BECAUSE THIS PRINTER HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED
SOUP TO NUTS HOW TO EASILY HACK IT APART AND MAKE IT PRINT TO COPPER
NOBODY
NOBODY did this with any other printer so far that makes it actually feasible to go buy that printer and
do the hack per the detailed guidance of the hack author.

IF you
HAVE A BETTER laser printer hack documented then please share.
If NOT then
this PANTUM hack is good enough for me...even if I have to pay $50 for  toner.
 
Perhaps with time and all of us tearing into these machines somebody may invent the
counter hack.
Considering the caliber of the engineers dabbling with these electronics gadgets hacks I figure its only a matter of time.


 

 

I got an HP1102W in 2011 for $99.....Toner refills are a few bux....6 years later I'm still going strong on it.
