Re:How to revert HP printer’s ban on 3rd-party ink cartridges by sircastor on Tuesday November 10, 2020 @10:18AM (#25046866)
When I did tech support for HP some 20 years ago, our advice to consumers was never to refill your toner as the photo reactive material on the drum would wear over time.

I always assumed this was true and the cartridge would last maybe 2-3x the initial amount of toner. I’m amazed that is 10 years! That’s awesome.

I have seen the photo reactive material wear. Seems to be rough particles come from somewhere and scratch it.
