=========================================

Use a small plastic funnel to get the toner in - saves spillage.


Where does one actually obtain the toner? I've never seen it. Always
used replacement cartridges (non-HP compatibles work fine in the
Laserjet).

I've heard good and bad reports of using recycled cartridges but never
seemed to be able to get a concensus on it... is the quality down to
that of the recycled hardware? the way it's refilled? the quality of the
actual toner used? Any/all of the above?

As a slight aside, does anyone know is it possible/usual for recycled
cartridges to be sold with the sealing strips in place? Just that I
once bought one from ebay, sold as genuine new HP, which was 'proved'
said the seller, because the strip was still in place. Am I a bit naive?
(not that I'm complaining particularly, as whatever it was, it was a
good price and printed perfectly for ages).
