You don't find that the toner cakes and settles?  I've had that in humid

weather.  It required lots of shaking and I still didn't get the spec

number of pages out of that toner.  That was with my Samsung laser.  The

cartridges are supposed to be good for 8,000 pages and cost me around

$220 CDN.

I have a CLP-550N and I have not had that problem.  In fact, I purchased

my printer going on three years ago and I am still using the factory

toner cartridges.

I haven't had that particular problem with my LaserJets.  I have had the imaging drum in the cartridge develop bad spots before the toner was used up, but I think that was mechanical abuse, not old age.  In both cases the problem showed up shortly after the printer had been bounced around in a moving truck.
