Firmware Samsung ML-2165W

[juvenalbk]

Hello.

I've bought a Samsung ML-2165W printer 2 weeks ago. It worked perfectly so far.

Searching about toner prices, i've found that they are really expensive here, on Brazil. A new toner equals to half of the print's total price!!

Googling about, i've found a site that sell the toner powder. This way, i can refill my own toner with low cost.

Although, as you all know, this damn printer saves the toner CRUM number to prevent refilling.

I've heard that a custom firmware can bypass the printer's control of the toner. Is it true?

If yes, can please someone generate a firmware to my printer?

Also, what i need to do with this firmware? Just install? Or i must remove the toner's chip?

Printer details:

-Model: ML-2160 Series
-Serial: Z7BYBQACB00233Z
-Firmware: V3.00.01.10
-Toner: CRUM-12090439194

Thanks.


Thanks.
