Re: HP Colour laser printer

I fill my toner catridges quite regulary for my little Smasung ML1210... In fact apart from the two free toners I received with the printer some 5 years ago I've never bought another cartridge..The toners available on eBay...

Problem with the newer printers is that they're going the way of inkjets in that the newer cartridge has a built in pic that logs the toner used and will need to be reset..I presume that there's resetters out there for them..

Also when doing toner is remember it is a very fine powdered plastic/carbon material. Do not use a vacumn cleaner to clean up old toner as it'll go right through even a pollen filter..Clean out the old catridge very carefully using a soft brosh onto a large sheet of plastic (I use an opened up black bag) and then gently fill the cartidge back up again..

You will get toner on your hands but just wash this off with COLD water as hot water although it won't melt the toner like some believe it will though open up pores which the toner will go into...
