: Figured out a way to extend laser toner life

My laser printer was running out of toner and getting faint, with some parts of the page faint, and others dark. I figured the toner powder inside must be stacked in some parts of the reservoir and low on other parts so I took the toner out and shook it left to right for about a minute.

It now works perfectly and I've printed another 80+ pages of a presentation due Monday.

Hopefully this helps anyone out there who has a deadline and nowhere to get toner. If you fail this, go fuck yourself.

I figured out a way to stay warm in Winter! By wearing more clothes before leaving the house, I was able to feel less cold today when getting to school.

hopefully this helps some of you who are freezing in this ugly weather.

and if you fail this, go fuck a frozen pole!

doesnt it tell you on the toner cartridge to shake it if you see streaks of white?

there's nothing wrong with inkjet printers?
there are both positives and negatives for using ink jet vs. laser.

ie. printing photo pictures.

On my Canon laser printer, it says right on the toner cartridge box to shift it from side to side before installing.

when my raven dot matrix printer runs out of ink i break a pen open and dip the ribbon in the ink. i can get 10 more letters out of a ribbon with each pen.

i hope this helped someone

if it didn't you can go fuck a 14.4K modem.
