That's one good thing about HP Lasers...when you buy toner you get the drum with it, so it's always renewed. (and why they don't recommend refilling.)

Sound as if you guys have the laser printer cartridge refilling under control, more or less. A good friend of mine runs a cartridge refilling and general service business for laser printers and does excellent work. I usually get about 6000 pages out of a cartridge for my HP Laserjet-4, more or less and he installs a newly recoated drum each time. He does many carts that arrive/depart via UPS.

From what I have learned about the insides of these critters, am disinclined to recommend that anyone try to reload their own. Quite a variety of gotchas. Replacing a xenon bullub is much simpler.

But on the plus side, laser carts don't blow up.
