The directions were wonderful and I used my Mac with VirtualPC to download the modified firmware with a USB cable. The next morning, I received an email with a link to download my modified firmware. I then downgraded to version 4.00.01.41 and bid on another firmware fix listing from c-h-i-p-t-o-n-e-r and sent the following information:ġ) printer model – CLP-410 Series (CLP-415NW)Ģ) the serial number of the printer – Z9A0BJED111111CNģ) The firmware version of the printer – System Firmware v4.00.01.41 Feb-15-2013 I requested firmware version 4.00.01.48, but I was told this version of firmware was not yet available and my money was promptly refunded. Somewhat defeated, I waited several months and when my yellow and magenta cartridges ran out of toner, I resorted to eBay and found the seller c-h-i-p-t-o-n-e-r. I tried to resolve the issue for several days using Google Translate, but never got it working. I decided to dive in and take a chance with “printserv”, but the firmware I received didn’t work. I knew of people who used firmware to disable the ability of the printer to read cartridge chips, but I wasn’t sure which vendor to trust. I knew about this nifty hardware hack for the 315, but I was hoping for something through software to avoid voiding my warranty. I wasn’t hoping to root the printer, but just find a way to disable the ability of the printer to read chips on toner cartridges. Not one to be hampered by an electronics manufacturer, I set out to jailbreak my Samsung CLP-415NW. The primary reason for the latter issue is Samsung’s firmware, which calculates how much toner remains (rather than measure it) and doesn’t allow you to use a refilled cartridge without also replacing the chip on the cartridge. It’s been a great machine, except for envelope-printing and the exorbitant price to operate. I was lucky enough to pick up the above-referenced printer on Amazon for a good price.
