laser printer toner refill
Is it wise to buy the toner myself and refill the cartridge because on ebay people sell it for so cheap and say its very easy to refill. What do you guys think?

I for one wouldn't do it... heard too many stories of spilled toner, and you can't clean that stuff up without a special filter on your vacuum. Spend the extra $$ to buy pre-filled remanufactured toner, or better yet, an original from the mfr.

Yeah, I would say that it's hardly worth it even with the amount of money you can "save". That toner gets everywhere and if it leaks inside your printer, it causes major headaches.

i have refilled with no problems. Just refill it over a sink, and do not try to overfill the cartridge. Make sure you get teh right toner for your cartridge, since some toner is small in particle size than others. If you get the wrong one, you will be unhappy with the print quality.
