What toner and drum does the Lexmark MS317dn need, plus 7 compatible models

Looking for toner for your Lexmark MS317dn or any of its sisters in the MS/MX series? The consumable you need is the Lexmark MS317 / MX317 / MS417 toner. Our compatible version yields 8,500 pages with the same print quality, and costs a fraction of the original. See the compatible toner. And if your machine also uses a separate drum, here's the compatible D317 drum of 60,000 pages.

Is it compatible with your printer?

These machines of Lexmark's monochrome laser range share the same toner cartridge and the same image drum. The letters at the end of the model indicate the equipment: d = duplex (automatic double-sided printing), n = Ethernet network connection, and e = multifunction variants of the MX series with specific finishing. If you have any of these models, this is your consumable:

• Lexmark MS317dn
• Lexmark MS417dn
• Lexmark MS517dn
• Lexmark MS617dn
• Lexmark MX317dn
• Lexmark MX417de
• Lexmark MX517de
• Lexmark MX617de

The MS series are print-only monochrome printers, while the MX series are multifunction machines (they print, copy and scan). They all fit the same consumable group, so you don't have to worry about the exact model: the toner and the drum are the same. If you're not sure of your model, use our printer finder to confirm it in seconds.

The consumable you need and what it yields

These machines work with a system of two separate parts: the toner (which runs out with the pages you print) and the image drum (which lasts much longer and is only changed from time to time).

• Compatible Lexmark MS317 / MX317 / MS417 toner: yields 8,500 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the yield standard for monochrome toner). It's the part you replace most often. See the toner.
• Compatible Lexmark D317 (51B0Z00) drum: yields 60,000 pages. As the drum lasts much longer than the toner, it withstands several toner cartridges before needing replacement. You only change it when the printer warns you that the image unit is exhausted. See the drum.

Not clear on which one you need to change? We explain it in detail in our toner vs. drum guide. The quick rule: if the printing comes out light or with faded areas, it's usually the toner; if repeated marks or smudges appear, it's usually the drum.

How much printing costs you

The advantage of our compatible consumable is simple: the same yield for much less money. A toner that yields 8,500 pages and a drum that withstands 60,000 cover thousands of documents for a fraction of what the original route would cost. The result is a very low cost per page, without giving up text sharpness.

Frequently asked questions

Is this toner compatible with my Lexmark MS517dn or MX617de?

Yes. The compatible Lexmark MS317 / MX317 / MS417 toner and the D317 (51B0Z00) drum work in the eight models of the family: MS317dn, MS417dn, MS517dn, MS617dn, MX317dn, MX417de, MX517de and MX617de. They all use the same consumable group. If you have doubts with your machine, check it in the printer finder.

How many pages does it print?

The toner yields 8,500 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, and the drum 60,000 pages. The drum lasts several toners: you only replace it when the printer indicates that the image unit is exhausted, while you replace the toner every time it runs out.

Does using a compatible toner void my printer's warranty?

No. Using compatible consumables does not void the legal warranty of your printer. Article 120 of RDL 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users) protects your right: the manufacturer cannot condition the warranty on using only its brand. You can check our warranty page for more detail.

How long does shipping take?

We ship within 24-48h across mainland Spain, and shipping is free from €50. This way you have your toner or drum ready before you get stranded with an empty printer.
