Michael,

Thanks, that's the sort of info I'm looking for.

It's very easy to set to "non-Dell" toner cartrige;
the Dell 3110cn has a web interface, and you just
go to settings, printer maintenance, and you will
see where to enable it.

I'll do that now, and hope that I'll get a few thousand
more pages (that's another year, very low volume).

Best,

Carl Friedberg
