So yesterday we were running real low on toner.... in our C550. We still had some supplies of C353 toner left from our previously leased machine from KM.
I'm on my first load of non-oem toner from www.aaatoner.com (stuff works fantastic same quality no issues BTW!) and asked Bobby from AAA if I could use the C353 toner in the C550.... he said if it's OEM then yes. So I poured the C353 yellow out into the empty yellow bottle (from what we got from him and refilled our C550 cartridge. Then poured the bottle contents into our C550 toner (with the machine saying 20% toner left). Shook it up. Slapped it in.
Works perfect!!
So the motto of the story is, if you have upgraded to a C550 from a C353 you can use those colour toners in an emergency situation no issues. In our case the new toner supplies are being shipped but I was getting close to running out of toner printing a big job. Saved my butt!

The only issue is if your toner cartridge chip says you have zero toner left and you run the cartridge out you can't refill it.... so refill when around 20% left. Chip will eventually tell printer no toner left but auger system will indicate toner so you can likely run it for a while like that.
