I have 2 colour laser printers on the premises, one Lexmark x560n and one Xerox Phaser 6180.
The internal workings of both machines are identical and the toner cartridges are also identical, however….
There is an electronic key on the cartridges. I have tested and found that if I swap the keys I can get the printer(s) to recognize the cartridges as either Lexmark or Xerox.
Unfrotunately, the printer thinks that the new Xerox cartridge with the dead lexmark key is empty.
Is there a way for me to reset the printers memory so that it will accept the Xerox cartridge so I can get the Lexmark printer up and running again?
FYI – Xerox cartridges cost only $127 Cdn
Lexmark Cartridges cost $270 Cdn.
If I can spoof the printer then I can purchase the Xerox cartridges and save lots of money.
