I have a Samsung ML-2010. I refilled the cartarage once and it worked great. I have refilled it a second time but now the print is very light. I have vibrated the cartarage to ensure that the toner was loose but it still prints light. Is the toner drum only good for one refill? Or could something else be the poblem? Hope someone has the answer. Thanks, al milligan

You need to clean the ink cartridge. Check for software on you computer under programs. You could also put some rubbing alcholol on a parer towel and lightly rub the print heads clean.
Samsung printers such as ML 1640,ML 2245 and SCX 4300 have a toner page count embedded in their firmware. This is the reason that once you refill your toner after it has run out,the printer still doesnt print and says toner is exhausted.
After you've refilled the cartridge,you'll have to reset the toner count also to zero...to do this,download the firmware here.
ML 1640Ml 2245 and SCX 4300 are not available on Samsung support site.
You will need to google it and you may find it in torrents.
run it and it will reset your toner count to 0...you have to do this everytime you refill your toner.
Another solution is to open the backside of ML 1640 and ML 2245,locate the chip 93c66 and short pin numbers 1 and 4 and turn on the printer for a second.It only works in some cases though.
dis is quite common problem..don't panic.. did u change / replace the cartridge with original spare or refilled it?? this kind of problem often follows with an unbranded cartridge change and or refilling..!! least chance of the defective cartridge itself causing such problem..!! however always try to use genuine refill packs/toner.. ..contact ur system admin/vendor....

Download the firmware from herehttp://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=in&CttFileID=2238869&CDCttType=FM&ModelType=N&ModelName=ML-1640&VPath=FM/200904/20090416100856890/ML-1640_V1.01.00.83.exe run the software and this will reset the page count to 0. Samsung printers generally do not support a refilled cartridge and thus the red light.But resetting the page count to 0 makes the printer detect the cartridge as an intoductory one.
Is it connected directly too the computer or to a network?
What it sounds like is that you are having a spoiler problem, the computer is intialized but its not getting the info to print. Or it could be a printer malfunction, something mechanical isn't working right in the printer. If you've removed the ink cartridge and replaced it, it could be out of place or not seated right. Other components could be locked up. If the light goes red could you tell us what the error message is? And have you looked at your user guide for information on possible errors?
I'm using remanufactured toner provided with my ML-2010 by Discount City when I purchased the printer and I'm having the same problem.
I have used non OEM toner in other laser printers also with disasterous consequnces so I think you'll have to 'bite the bullet' and purchase a new Samsung toner cartridge unless you can find out who manufactures the cartridge in which case you might be able to souece one directly avoiding the extorionate mark up.
