I meant RMA the whole printer, but now I'm wondering if this
is Konica's not so subtle way of telling you that they don't
like losing cartridge sales... so I guess I'd flip a coin to
decide whether to replace the cartridge or the whole
printer... or if you have the original cart still, maybe
dumping the toner out of the present cart and into the old
one, if that printer doesn't store and remember cart serial
#s (I don't know if it does).
