Don't think I got 300 pages out of Samsung's 1000-page rated cart.
W4W - Times New Roman or Arial at 11 points, both sides printed, inch
margins roughly all around. Various PDF text books converted if not
LIT files converted and imported from HTML.

Took a refill bottle and tried it out, (ordered 6 for about eighth/
half-a-pint for $5ea. shipped), which picked right up. Toner light's
still blinking, but I can live with that rather than mess with fuses.
Cartridge came apart with two screws, and there was the refill plug.
Wow - no soldering iron to get into it. Refilled and done in under an
hour. Not really a big bottle, no printed measure on the outside,
just a couple model#s -- though enough to fill up the toner chamber
maybe 7/8 full. I'm guessing it's going to be two or three times the
cost of cartridges and toner the way I'm printing, and nowhere near
2000-3000 pages ratings.

Just one mistake. I had the old plastic photo-optic drum covering/
protection, which I put back over the drum while working with it.
Took that off momentary to get the screws out and top cover off to
reveal the refill plug. So, what I do... first thing I reach around
and grab the cartridge with my thumb on the back, and my index right
across the photo-optic drum. Smart. Luckily, no residual finger
print or a black smudge on every page printed.

It looks like you do not have to try very hard to ruin your printer.
