    Do any of the honorable forum members know what the title issue looks like?

    Are we at the current stage doomed to a set of toners at a price of around 300% of the printer price?

    For home j105 brother you have 2400 pages for 39 PLN original :)

    And the quality / durability of the print (I especially mean that it does not fade after time)
    J105 vs OKI C5xx Cxx?

    I checked that the black mascara is about 48 ml. Somehow I can not print 2400 pages from it, I could use a pattern of a printed page with 5% filling.
    (I have HP DeskJet 990 - black ink is just 48ml, I can't imagine printing even a quarter of this 2400 page).

    Is there a printhead in this brother's cartridges, or is it permanently in the printer (it is about drying)?

    2400 pages from black - so says the manufacturer, the head is permanently in the printer, inkjet printout as to fading it depends where it is to be outside the store, for example? it would have to be laminated to secure

    Well, when the ink dries in the head is ... a new printer (because the price of the head - half the printer?)?

    Brother has the function of automatic head cleaning 2 times a week, but there must be a good level of carcass in order for this function to turn on, if this is observed, brother lives for 6 - 8 years or more. We gave or glued information to each printer so that it was always connected to the power so that it could be cleaned, e.g. I sold about 70 pieces of ink brothers for 14 years and the same customers come for the ink

    As for OKI toner / powder printers

    Generally, with any oki, the drum assemblies are made in such a way that the original powder is thinly granular and has a special petroleum jelly added, which means that the powder does not glisten at the strip applying toner to the rubber roller and this in turn to the drum roller. Replacement toners, especially Chinese toners do not have this specificity and are coarse-grained. The only powders for eye regeneration that actually work has agawa.pl, powders we checked and they are very good but the condition that you have to use the same powder - the same powder manufacturer so that the printer does not get dirty so that there are no different chemical compositions in different toners.

    for the oki c332dn printer you can buy a device that will reset the printer to factory settings. Add powder, print as it calculates to 0 to reset and print again :)

    You just have to consider that low-quality powders can damage your drum unit

    Powders have good quality substitutes, I printed about 8,000 pages last year and everything is new. There is no slightest difference in the printout on the original toner and on the remanufactured by adding powder.

    And are you able to send some link to this reset?

    unfortunately I don't have a link. And the cost of the device itself is PLN 350, so not too much.

    Resetter or printer reset chip, names are different but the principle is the same, when buying a new printer we get Starter toners without Counter Chips, the counting itself is done by downloading data from EEPROM, so when the Limit is over, i.e. 1000 pages, the original state of this EEPROM should be uploaded . So it's best not to fire it after buying a new printer, but desolder EEPROM and have a clean load on your computer and you can upload it in several ways:
    1. Desolder EEPROM each time and load the original charge (a lot of work and it's easy to damage something if you are not able to do it)
    2. Buy on Turkish website programmer made on PIC (soldering is 4 cables for EEPROM and we have Eternal Chip but it's a bit expensive, about 300 PLN)
    3. Buy an Arduino Nano for PLN 20, write a Simple programmer and, like above, reset it when you want. So you can do it yourself and it works :-) it works for me, I have an OKI C332DN printer but I also want some ripples from other models, does anyone have? I will make documentation and if there is any interest I will share.

    I have a slam dump for OKI 332 because I downloaded my own but if someone had a new OKI another model I would like to load, we can do some Programmers for different models and provide a description, a project for every amateur.

    >>18642375 Hi, I have four MC332DNs and one MC342W. I have fairly new firmware on most of them:

    cu   03.28
    pu   00.08.21
    scanner   04.85
    panel   02.05.02
    total memory   256
    flash memory   8 [F65]
    nic program ver   01.47
    .

    I did a bit of chip sitting yesterday and have a few batches ripped. Communication is based on OneWire, the chips appear to be DS2501, although the standard libraries for DS250x don't work with them.

    I wonder how much Oki's programmers have blocked these replacements. Many bought toner or chips from aliexpress don't work for me.

    You write that you just throw in a batch - and have you checked that the printer won't realise that this toner has already been installed in it and then had a higher consumption?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around alternatives to expensive toner sets for the OKI C332DN printer. Users express concerns about the high cost of original toners, which can exceed the printer's price. Suggestions include switching to different printer models like the Developa + 3100P or Brother J105, which offer lower-cost toner options. Some users mention the possibility of toner regeneration using specific powders, although caution is advised regarding the quality of these substitutes, as low-quality powders can damage the drum unit. A reset device for the OKI C332DN is also discussed, allowing users to refill toner and reset the printer's page count. Various methods for resetting the printer's EEPROM are shared, including using an Arduino Nano or purchasing a dedicated programmer. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for cost-effective printing solutions while maintaining print quality.
