I believe we got over 4000 pages with the original cartridge.  After we
started getting faint spots, I shook it and got at least another 100 or
200 pages.  The replacement cartridge started getting faint after about
2000 pages or so.  I shook itt once (and spilled a little toner) and got
proabably another 100 or so pages before it got faint again.  I reshook
it again and don't know how many pages we have gotten since then.  There
appears to be a difference in the two cartridges we have used...
