![]() I knew of people who used firmware to disable the ability of the printer to read cartridge chips, but I wasn’t sure which vendor to trust. I knew about this nifty hardware hack for the 315, but I was hoping for something through software to avoid voiding my warranty. I wasn’t hoping to root the printer, but just find a way to disable the ability of the printer to read chips on toner cartridges. Not one to be hampered by an electronics manufacturer, I set out to jailbreak my Samsung CLP-415NW. The primary reason for the latter issue is Samsung’s firmware, which calculates how much toner remains (rather than measure it) and doesn’t allow you to use a refilled cartridge without also replacing the chip on the cartridge. It’s been a great machine, except for envelope-printing and the exorbitant price to operate. I was lucky enough to pick up the above-referenced printer on Amazon for a good price.
