1. A method for modifying a process cartridge comprising:
providing the process cartridge comprising a waste bin assembly; and
altering at least the waste bin assembly of the process cartridge to form an altered process cartridge,
wherein the waste bin assembly comprises a waste bin and the step of altering comprises removing a portion of the waste bin of the process cartridge to form a recess in the altered process cartridge,
wherein altering further comprises covering the recess with a plug,
wherein the plug forms an indentation in the waste bin.
2. A method for modifying a process cartridge comprising:
providing the process cartridge comprising a waste bin assembly;
altering at least the waste bin assembly of the process cartridge to form an altered process cartridge; and
attaching a circuit board to the altered process cartridge,
wherein the process cartridge will operate in a first type of printing device and will not operate in a second type of printing device, and wherein the altered process cartridge will operate in the second type of printing device.
