Samsung clx-3175 printer+scanner. There are "reset chips" available on eBay that allow clx3175 owners to use generic refill toner in these printers. Since I've been unable to find anyone's detailed description of how well these reset chips work, I thought it might be useful to post my own experience.

The reset chip I got is the "6 pin connector" version that can easily be found on eBay from a UK seller. I believe (but am not sure) that it is different from a "2nd version" reset chip that is also available on eBay.

Here are the observations that I thought were noteworthy:

1) Opening the printer is pretty tricky; there's a bit of a trick to removing the side panel, I think. I'm not sure exactly what the trick is, but it seemed to work best by starting and the bottom and then pushing it inwards and tilting it in some certain direction. I never did figure-out exactly what specific motion removes the panel, but it does eventually come off.

2) The de-soldering required is quite tricky. I removed the factory-installed EEPROM by simply cutting the legs of the chip; if you can actually desolder it, then you are doing pretty good.

3) After soldering-in the 6pin connector, I used an ohmmeter to check for any unintented shorts. In theory this could damage the printer board, but I don't think it did anything bad. The soldering-in is a bit tight, but you don't need to be an expert (I'm not) or have fancy tools beyond solder and a properly tinned soldering iron.

4) The instructions tell you that a metal strip must be placed onto the print cartridges. The instructions indicate that the trip can be placed onto any one of the cartridges. I found this to be untrue. It worked when I placed it on the black cartridge, but not on the cyan cartridge.

5) You are removing an EEPROM (memory chip) from the printer, so some side effects -- namely forgotten printer settings -- are to be expected. Below, I list what I consider to be the most signifcant side effects; some of them were unanticipated:

a) The printer display panel will initially be gibberish. I wasn't able to set the language to English using the Samsung instructions. However, using the printer's web interface (which mercifully was still English), I was able to re-set the printer's display to English. This took a while to figure-out. Note that the computer's Samsung "Smart Panel" remained in English. (Note that I have the "n" - network version of the printer).

b) The printer's MAC address changed (yes, the MAC address, not just the IP address). This might be a problem for you if you have two clx-3175 printers connected to the same network...

c) The printer menus generally do not work anymore. For example, pressing the "Menu" button should allow me to select between the Scan Menu and the Copy Menu, but I can usually only select the Copy Menu. The "Scan To" menu usually does not work, and the few times I can get it to scan to something, I have no idea where the scan goes since the menu doesn't show the destination anymore. For me, this is mostly harmless since I typically print or scan from a computer. The "photocopy colour" and "photocopy black/white" buttons still work, which is all I need.

[Update - I just figured-out where the scans where going when my wife walked in and asked why strange pictures were being opened on her computer's screen! Haha.]

d) Of course, the major side effect is that the supplies status all get reset to 100%. After being reset, the toner supply is slowly decreasing as I print pages (despite plugging/unplugging the power supply); I'm not sure if it will hit 0% or what will happen if it does. I'm hoping that the mod chip automatically resets its toner counters; it's possible that the mod chip needs to be manually connected/disconnected in order to reset it. I guess I'll find out when I get there...

Good luck if you decide to install this chip onto your clx-3175. For myself, the ability to use generic toner easily justifies the cost of the lost features listed above.

 I never noticed the print speed for first copy as being slow. I timed it just now, and I think measured ~45s and ~40s for colour and black & white, respectively, starting from cold (ie, room temp). It makes attractive cooing noises while you wait. :) If you have the printer in your office with clients waiting at your desk for a simple sign-off page, then it's probably a long time. If you have the printer in your home, then you quite likely won't notice.
After the printer is awake, subsequent times to first-page-out are much faster and in-line with published stats. There are two related options that you can set. One option is the power-save timeout; I leave mine at the default 15min, but you can set this to up to two hours if you want to improve your first-page-out times. The second option is the "machine time out" setting. Again, I leave this at the default 30s, but you can set it to "off" or between 15s and 180s. I believe, but am not 100% certain, that this will keep the printer hot and ready-to-go, so it should give you particularly fast time to first page out. If it's winter and you use electric heating anyways, then it's irrelevant from a cost perspective; air conditioned settings will, of course, see an energy cost to using the "off" setting. I can't guess at how much; probably less than leaving an iron turned on to medium, but more than an incandescent lightbulb (the bigger cost is for the air-con to extract that heat from the home or office)... The "machine time out" can be set through the clx3175's web interface; I do not know if there are other ways to set it (the manual seems to be unclear).
I guess the only other comment is to wait as long as reasonable before putting any mod chip into your printer. In my case, the fuser broke and Samsung had to repair it (which their third-part service contractor did repair, quite smoothly and promptly; I'm in a major metropolitan area, so I can't comment on what would happened in a more remote location; I have no reason to believe my fuser failure was anything other than an unlucky fluke). I don't know what kind of questions would have been asked if they had seen an extra unexpected chip in the printer, however... :-)
