It's impossible to tell unless you can try at least one of them.

What's likely to happen is that the toner will have "clumped" and that means it won't come out evenly so you get blank spots and/or big lumps of raw toner on the page. One POSSIBLE cure is to give the toner cartridges a darn good shake before they are unpacked and installed, same as you do with a pot of salt/herbs/whatever to get rid of all the lumps so it flows better.

But the risk is entirely yours, they may not work.

(Oh, Vancouv. ALWAYS make sure inkjet cartridges are "in date". They simply will not work properly otherwise as the ink basically "clots" and there is nowt you can do to cure that)
