Anyone own Samsung ML-1710 printer?

How do you check status of your ink cartridge? The driver software has no feature of it whatsoever.

No such features in my ML 1250 ...

I guess only way to know is when it stops printing. Thanks.

The next time your toner runs out, weigh the cartridge. Then weigh a full toner cartridge. Subtract the weight of the empty catridge from the full one. That's the weight of the toner. When you want to find how much toner is left, weigh the cartridge and subtract that from the weight of the full cartridge. The difference is how much is used. Now divide the difference by the difference between empty and full and that's your remaining toner.

This is assuming the same mass of cartridge excepting toner, and density of toner.

Thanks. But I thought this was 2004. What happened to technology?

The printer is too cheap for that!

I got one also...got it like for $50 after rebates/coupon late last year.

Let me pull out one of my anal hairs and consult it.
