Does anyone know anything about "recharging" the toner cartridges for the
HP LJII series printers?  I know you're supposed to dispose of the things
when they are out of toner, but there are a lot of places out there
"recharging" them for around $30-$60, which can be cheaper than buying new
ones, and they'll work just as good as new ones.  So I'm wondering if I can
figure out how to "recharge" them myself, i.e., put toner in them, since I
don't really think the "recharge" is worth $30.  (I'm sure their actual
cost is about $5, so they're making at least $25 pure profit.)

Is there another newsgroup that would be more appropriate for this question?
If so, please tell me the name of it...

Thanks,
