This is a LaserJet printer he's talking about FWIW.

  Yeah, the headline should be "...ban[s] 3rd-party toner cartridges".

    Good point. And sorry for the imprecision. Just fixed it: https://github.com/kdeldycke/kevin-deldycke-blog/commit/6306578e6af69953f710127ef421cc77db304180 https://github.com/kdeldycke/kevin-deldycke-blog/commit/6306...

  I bought an original HP cartridge for my Laserjet printer because I read that 3rd party cartridges may have issues with displaying the amount of ink left. Everything was all fine until the other day I did some cleaning on my desk and put my printer on the floor for 15 minutes. Since I put it back on my desk, it has been complaining that the cartridge is close to being empty, whereas it should be at about 70%. I removed the cartridge and put it back but nothing changed. In light of the post, it may be interesting if anyone else had a similar issue with either the original or the 3rd party cartridge.

    There is no level sensor in cartridges. It simply counts pages and time. After a fixed number of pages, or a fixed number of days, it says "ink is low".

      There absolutely is a level sensor in many toner cartridges these days. Are you still using a 90s model LaserJet?
