  >This is only ink-jet, correct? This article is about an inkjet, but I've owned laser multi-function devices that will not print if the toner is out. The problem is linking the scanner working with the printer having filled consumables. I've also had devices where the printer failed, and you could not scan or fax because the printer failed self-testing. > still on my second, generic, toner cartridge There's a whole other can of worms around chipping cartridges in an effort to prevent refilling and competition. With newer printers, this may not be possible as cartridges "expire" often before the ink or toner is gone.
