Samsung M2020/M2070 toner: the compatible MLT-D111S

July 6, 2026 Updated September 27, 2026

HP lists MLT-D111S for the Samsung Xpress SL-M2020 and SL-M2070. Before buying a compatible cartridge, match your full printer model to the seller’s specific listing and check the cartridge’s regional reference.

Check compatibility by exact model. The original cartridge’s yield does not establish a compatible cartridge’s yield. Compare current prices and do not apply a reset or firmware modification without instructions for your particular printer.

What's the difference between the MLT-D111S and the MLT-D111L?

MLT-D111S and MLT-D111L are different references. Similar names do not establish that every version of both fits your printer. HP declares approximately 1,000 pages for the original MLT-D111S under ISO/IEC 19752. This does not guarantee the yield of a compatible cartridge or every type of document.

MLT-D111L	Check the specific listing; interchangeability is not established here.

Which Samsung printers use the D111S toner?

Startoner’s compatible D111S listing names these exact models: SL-M2020, SL-M2020W, SL-M2022, SL-M2022W, SL-M2026, SL-M2026W, SL-M2070, SL-M2070F, SL-M2070FW, SL-M2070W. HP identifies MLT-D111S for SL-M2020/SL-M2026 and SL-M2070/SL-M2071. Check the region as well: do not extend this list to every printer whose model starts with M20.

Why is original Samsung toner so hard to find?

Look up the original cartridge by its full reference in HP’s catalogue. Availability depends on the seller and when you check. A printer’s age does not establish that its cartridge has disappeared from sale or justify a promise of future stock.

How much do you save with the compatible D111S?

There is no saving that applies to every purchase. Compare the final price and declared yield of each reference suitable for your printer. Dividing price by declared pages provides a theoretical comparison, not a guarantee of your actual cost per page.

Does the compatible cause problems with the chip or the warranty?

A recognition error does not establish that the chip is dirty. Record the exact message, full printer model and cartridge reference. The documentation distinguishes between a missing cartridge, an unsuitable reference and exhausted toner. If the problem persists, contact the seller before modifying the printer.

How do you install the D111S toner step by step?

The steps differ by model. HP’s SL-M2020/SL-M2026 guide shows the lower tray and top cover; its SL-M2070 guide uses the scan unit and inner cover. Follow the appropriate guide, hold the cartridge by its handle and avoid touching the green surface. Installation time is not universal.

Is it worth buying spare toner for an older printer?

Base spare purchases on your usage and the cartridge’s specified storage conditions. Keep the packaging sealed until use and follow its instructions. Do not assume unlimited life or a fixed storage period for every compatible cartridge.

Samsung Xpress toner: choose the right compatible D111S

When choosing Startoner’s compatible D111S, check the exact printer model, selected reference and current listing’s terms. Similar-looking cartridges do not replace that check. Specifications published by another seller do not necessarily describe Startoner’s product.

Frequently asked questions

Are the MLT-D111S and MLT-D111L interchangeable in my printer?

Do not assume they are interchangeable. HP lists MLT-D111S for SL-M2020 and SL-M2070, but a specific D111L needs a separate compatibility check. Match the full printer model, regional cartridge reference and seller’s listing before buying; a higher advertised capacity does not, by itself, establish that the cartridge is suitable.

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

Coverage depends on the warranty terms and the cause of the fault. Samsung’s documentation excludes damage caused by non-original consumables. Keep your invoice and report the fault to the relevant service provider; it is not accurate to promise that any compatible cartridge automatically preserves or cancels the entire printer warranty.

My printer doesn't recognize the compatible cartridge, what do I do?

First check the exact warning, full printer model and reference of the installed cartridge. An incompatibility message is different from an exhausted-toner warning. Follow the checks in your model’s manual and contact the seller if the problem persists; do not treat a reset or firmware change as a universal fix.

How much do I save versus original Samsung toner?

Divide each cartridge’s current price by its declared page yield and compare the cost per page with the original. The compatible Samsung MLT-D111S product page shows the calculation using its displayed price. Match the exact reference and estimate savings for your expected pages; changing prices and actual yield mean no fixed percentage applies.

Can I buy spare toner even if it takes me months to use it?

Yes, you can buy a spare if its reference matches your printer and you can meet its storage requirements. Keep the packaging sealed until needed and follow the cartridge manufacturer’s instructions. Do not assume that toner lasts indefinitely or that every compatible cartridge can be stored for the same number of months.
