    Hi:

    We need a bit more information in order to better assist you.

    The make and model of the printer would be a good place to start.

    Thanks,

    This is your model - Cannon LBP6030

    What do you print?

    Check your user manual to see if your printer has this feature.

    Toner Saving Mode - When the imageCLASS LBP6000 is switched into the toner saving mode, it allows for up to a 20% more economical toner usage.

    1. Use smaller Font.

    2. Don't print bold type unless absolutely needed. (Uses a lot of ink)

    Use draft mode, if you have it.

    Hi:

    ^^ Excellent advice ^^

    One other thing might be to check the Canon website to see if there is a firmware update for the printer.
    Manufacturers sometimes issue a firmware update designed to improve performance.

    Having said that, if it exists, it probably does NOT cause the printer to use LESS toner...
    The printer manufacturers make their $$ not from the hardware, but from the ink/toner.
    So, they would prefer that we use more ink, not less.

    Cheers,
