Why I WILL NOT buy another Samsung printer
About 4 years ago I bought a printer. Samsung ML-2510 to be specific.
I don't print that much (600 copies in total) therefore I was expecting to use this printer until it runs out of toner - which I expected to happen in about 10 years.
Some of you probably laugh and say I'm crazy but I can show you HP Laserjet 1010 which I have for more than 10 years and it is still working! The key is to keep it clean...
So what's wrong with Samsung printer you may ask...
In my opinion NOTHING! It was complaining to replace toner for some time (3-4 months) but all copies were perfect quality. No grey strips no dust - they were exactly the same as when the printer was new so I ignored those warnings and decided to wait for the toner to really be gone.
Recently the printer not only complained about toner but also stopped to work entirely. It still says that the only problem is toner...
Is this planned obsolescence Samsung? Will the printer work just fine if I'll buy new toner? Maybe toner with microchip inside which will tell the printer it is empty only because it thinks it's too old?
Reseting chip in Samsung's printer...

ps I'm not saying HP at the moment isn't using planned obsolescence because I simply don't know.I just know there is nothing like that in HP LJ 1010 model which I have.
Were are these politicians talking all the time about environment, how green we should be, how to create another tax because the car is 4WD or has a bigger engine...?
Where are politicians when real waste happens?

Nothing beats (old) Reflector created by Lutz Roeder
After looking around for a freeware replacement I have to say that nothing is as good and as fast as original Reflector.
