My explanation is that the printer might move lots of toner > to the waste bottle when turning it on, I noticed that with my colour Lexmark laser printer, though it never mattered much since I couldn't convince the Linux drivers to work with colour printing enabled. While sitting on my to-do list to revisit driver hell one day, the rollers have gone hard and it hardly feeds paper now anyway. At least I got it for free so nothing lost except the cost of a set of new toner carts. It can still print a few pages in colour connected to a Windows laptop if I really need that, but I've generally concluded that colour isn't worth the effort. The other factor with extra toner use is whether your usage matched the page coverage spec on those "3500 pages". That's usually at 5% page coverage, which is probably significantly lower than your own average page coverage. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
