Toner not recognized

posted by ivanator on Mar 11, 2008


printer does not recognize a compatible cartridge.if I powers down the printer and then power it back up the printer will print my job on and then does not longer recognize it again??

Comment by ivanator, posted on Mar 12, 2008

I have cleaned the contacts this is a new Compatible Toner. I reinsert the OEM toner the printer will recognize it, however with this newer toner it does not. I don’t see a chip so what else could it be?

The printer is an Lexmark Optra S 1855

Thanks,

The Cartridge I am replacing with is a Compatible Toner . as I compare the OEM with the Compatible they look identical the Contacts and all

Yes, if I power the printer off the toner will be recognized and the printer will print whatever I have in Queue. Then once it has printed I get an error saying “Change Cartridge”

By the way this is a Toner Cartridge and not Ink
