I have b/w HP laser printer, one of the office oriented series. His cartridges has some chip and 2 contacts on it. After a while after purchasing and some amount of pages it refused to print because of low toner. I have simply covered contacts with tape - and printer works again! However, HP software started to complain that cartridge is missing. For every page printed lol. While actually printer was working. Solution - uninstall HP software and use some generic compatible driver. And after with this cartridge it printed at least as double amount as before it become “empty”.
