LaserJet Cartridge refills



There are many such services:

However, it is my experience that you are making a mistake to use
remanufactured toner cartridges.  These seem to significantly decrease
reliability of the printer, and cause a lot of problems.  In the older and
slower printers, such as the HP II or III running at 4-6 ppm, the effect
was not so bad.  On newer and faster printers, where in some cases you are
rolling 24 ppm, they seem to really gum up the works.
