I've got an OKI 8600 colour laser printer. The electronical display insists that there is no more toner. However, I can print about 2 A4 pages (full colour) just after starting the printer. Then it would stop and claim that all toner cartridges are empty. If I restart it, it prints two pages, than stops. And so I have printed 20 pages with *no* toner, which makes me suspicious. Anyone know how can I make it print until it really runs out of toner (something in settings maybe?)

You can't and OKI can tell from the stats pages that you have done this to a printer.
The Oki printer tells you the toner is out when the toner cart is empty, there IS still a resevoir in the drum unit though. Due to this Answerer 1's suggestion to shake carts WILL NOT WORK, as the toner is NO LONGER HERE.
If you persist in trying to run the machine as toner out, the drum runs out and seizes, then you need new drums, Oki will see you have abused the system and charge you for the drums.
When you buy toner it allows extra in the bottle for "systems" requirements, but after the 1st bottle it ALL gets used.
I'm afraid you need to BUY SOME TONER.

To elaborate on the previous answer, not only can you ruin your drum by trying this you can also ruin you image transfer kit but heating it with no image (you will actually physically burn it) You can also destroy your fuser. Unless you are ready to throw out the printer, stop trying to trick it.

Take the cartridge out and shake it gently which will redistrubute the toner left.
