Yes, you can refill toner cartridges, but it’s not quite as straightforward. If you search Google for refilling toner cartridges you should be able to find some guides.

What about laser printers? Can you refill the ink on them?

I don’t know about that first step, my computer doesn’t have an empty (or any) cartridges.

You are behind in technology then…all the cool computers have cartridges now.

This makes me wonder how all of these companies refill ink cartridges without any issues. I’m sure that they have better equipment, but it is pretty amazing that recycling the cartridges has become a big business of its own.

On a more serious note, a long, long time ago I use to refill cartridges back when I had the Cannon BubbleJet with the four separate ink cartridges. IIRC, it wasn’t that cost effective as I could may be get 1 or 2 refills out a cartridge before it started leaking from normal use. Never tried it with the HP’s. Don’t even have a printer at the moment.

So I assume you gave up on refilling your own? I also read that places like Walgreens will do the refilling for you. I wonder how that works too.

We tried that for a while. But you eventually get problems with it, and it really just isn’t the same as a brand new cartridge. Max we got out of one cartridge was 2 or 3 refills.
