MP C4503 toner bottle will not come out

[Oze]

It won't, these toner bottles have a spring loaded cap to prevents this.

I've had PLENTY of customers hand me the bottle on arrival.
They just rip them out and leave the collar behind.

I guess if you took the black end cap with the chip & swapped them over it would fit.

However the 2 series drums & devs are totally different so i’d expect the toner to not be the same.

toners are the same.
i have tried and yes the drum itself it layed out cheaply on a mpc2503..
kinda stupid,good design on mpc3503 but lets save $100 on a mpc2503 design..
Probably wht rico stock is so low...

At this point none of us know why the cartridge is stuck. IF it's the correct one/type as you have assumed, you are probably correct. IF it's been damaged severely enough or IF the wrong one and has been jammed or otherwise damaged, we simply don't know how it may come back out. I just like being prepared...and that is all was saying. I am now through with this thread.
