What toner cartridge for Samsung ML-1740?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Samsung's website hardly admits this model exists; the docs I could
find were in Chinese. The CD that comes with the printer doesn't
specify a model for the toner cartridge.

But refill for *what*? That's the whole point of my question.
Which Samsung models use the same cartridge as the ML-1740?

Less toner. Just refill it. It's cheap. You can get away with it for
a couple of refills, usually, before things go south. Works great for me.

It might be necessary to 'burn' a hole for the refill. The vendor sites
explain this clearly. Still very easy & much less expensive.
