hmmm... Curious use of english too brian. Reads like a computer translation.

But it does prompt me to ask a question.
If I remember rightly there are two types of toner that are
not compatible.

I have an old cannon copier here with a number of unused cartriges
and a desktop laser. (OKI)

I'm just wondering if there is a way to find out if the toners are
interchangable so I can refill my printer with the copier toner?

Anyone know?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I used to have an ancient photo-copier that needed special toner and I asked the manufacturer what distinguished it from cheaper 'generic' stuff. They replied in quite technical terms about the chemistry involved but basically it read as "we use a negative charge on the drum, other people use positive" so there are at least two types in use. I would *guess* that if the polarity on the drum and corona wire matched the toner type, any would work. The fuser (aka. fixer or heated rollers) run at about the same temperature on all machines so once the toner has been deposited on the paper it should stay put whatever the toner type.
You could try something: I don't recommend you use a voltmeter to measure the corona wire voltage but if you hold a neon lamp near to it but not touching it, one electrode inside the lamp should glow. If you repeat on the other machine and the same electrode glows, it will be the same polarity. If one of the machines has a toner unit you normally change out when empty I suppose you have nothing to lose by trying it. At worst, you have lost an empty toner unit.

Regarding the first post, beneath it and embedded in it is a link to a web site selling toner cartridges. My guess is "marktaylor" is the named retailer.

Thanks Brian.

Yes that was pretty much what I thought.
On the other hand I could always just fill the thing - switch on and stand back.
Since the price of a refill is higher than the price of replacing the printer thats
probably easier (so much for free markets - consumable prices are so absurdly out of hand.)

I had to replace the transfer wire when I bought the copier (second hand)
Incredibly expensive stuff. Cannon were very helpful and sent me a small roll
free of charge though. That was nice of them I thought.
