I bought these to have on hand when I need replacement toner need. It's a shame I didn't at least try them in the printer before the return period closed and then put them away. Tried all sorts of tricks to get it working. Nothing but disappointment. My printer just won't accept them. $65 wasted. So I took a chance, bought an IKong, put it in and everything is fine again. The printer accepts them normally. Lesson learned.
