Summary: Easy to Replace but Hard to Find
Comment: I think that this is a great idea, and the cartridge is easy to replace, but I had a hard time finding it on Samsung's site so I came here where I also had a difficult time finding it. I mainly blame Samsung for this because their online help didn't list the product number (CLP-W300A) in any of their help files.

Summary: Replaceable Internal Component
Comment: The page does a poor job of describing what this item is and does.

I just bought a Samsung CLP-300 printer, and read in the manual about the Samsung Waste Toner Collector (CLP-W300A) and what it does.

One of these (the collector) comes with a new CLP-300 series printer. This is a bottle that fills as you print, with toner that is taken from the toner cartridge cylinders, but not used during the printing process. Samsung seems to have had a good idea doing it this way rather than having it accumulate in some inaccessible space within the unit.

The Toner Collector also has what appears to be an optical port on the side (most likely to enable the printer to tell when it is full).

The documentation that comes with the printer specifies the Toner Collector needs to be replaced when full, which (it seems) they expect after printing between 1250 and 5000 pages (at 5% saturation for color and B/W print, respectively). Failure to replace A FULL Waste Toner Collector results in stoppage of printing.

I don't see any reason not to simply dump the toner and clean out the supplied collector when it gets full, except that that could turn out to be a messy job, and it may be simpler to plunk down the 10-15 bucks to just buy a new one.

In summary: this Waste Toner Collector is an internal part of the Samsung CLP-300 series printer, found just inside the front access panel, and it is easily removed and replaced.

Summary: Best Waste Toner Collector Ever
Comment: You know, waste toner collectors may come and waste toner collectors may go, but in my ever-so-humble opinion, this Samsung Waste Toner Collector collects waste toner better than any other waste toner collector I have ever seen collect waste toner. The packaging is inviting yet functional, the box-opening experience rivals any other waste toner collector box-opening experience out there, and since its installation I have not seen even a teaspoon of waste toner spilling out onto the table and turning my fingers magenta, yellow, or even cyan. Thank you, Samsung. Thank you.
