[mod.computers.laser-printers] recharging cartridges

I've had good luck recycling Canon cartridge up to and including
once.  After that the transfer media begins to wear and the
quality degrades.

I've used cartridges that have been refilled with Brown toner.
That works well a lot of the time, but its hard for the recyclers
to remove all the Black toner first. You may get a strange blend
from time to time.

The Canon reps say that the Canon version of the cartridge (as
opposed to the HP version) contains more toner and is good for
about 1/3rd more prints.  I have not verified this and it may
just be Canon hype..
