Before I exercised a $150 tantrum to alleviate my frustration, I'd
probably get a new toner cartridge to see if it starts working again.
If the printer logic thinks the toner is low, it ceases printing.
However, the toner isn't cheap, either ($54 for 134A, $88 for 134X).

Apparently you can get replacement toners without the chip, but you have
to reuse the chip from the original toner; i.e., you're sliding in a new
toner cartridge while pretending it is the old toner cartridge.  See:

https://www.amazon.com/134A-Toner-Cartridges-Replacement-Compatible/dp/B0D3L1VYB5/ref=sr_1_6?crid=P9SDI8CPIIAN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5Qv2e-GIMvBTt6QaihwUl_SKnf50znHsYzt_ovFZ4-dETPFVVJi8ZMXntYQd3q3sED9PCCUauyKEabjmemjYhk5CVQITzgAtQlhJYr0SyuX-ttov2_Lh-cuCo82DwWaGR9wNuxQKpcqsKWXPaRWIRTUpI9kHxh63UhrrpSale1xnozYncLXYNQzDRywyM59mvjZOjbWMNDI9_5kruaCY5udWk1G5JCRp6TpOLPDvx2I.RY0vwK4kJ6jj6rjwUN_qKp3AX_-mLDnwAngWLrlQM3I&dib_tag=se&keywords=HP+LaserJet+M209dw+toner&sprefix=hp+laserjet+m209dw+toner%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-6

The photo on instructions mentioning having to use a drill and how to
move the chip to the new cartridge would push me off, and I'd pay more
to get a cartridge with its own new chip, especially since a different
serial number might fix the problem.
