I have heard that LaserWriter toner cartridges can be recharged, would
someone be so kind as to give me some pointers as to what companies do this,
what the prices are and problems that have been encountered.

Please send Mail to me.

See the August issue of Computer Shopper page 216, the "Ask the Guru" 
column has some info about toner cartrige refills and lists Laser
Printer Products, Inc, 11 Freeman St. Stoughton, MA  02072, (617)
893-9000, as a source of raw materials.  He (Don Lancaster) does the   
refilling himself.

The only one I know of on the east coast (I think there's only 2 around
in the US) is:


Laser Printer Products
11 Freeman St.
Stoughton, Ma 02072
(617) 893-9000 (24 Hr answering service)
(617) 341-3005 (9-5 Eastern time)

A toner Cartridge recharge is $40, or $50 if you have no trade-in cartridge.
You can buy instructions and toner for 2 recharges for $99, and you can buy
toner only for $20.

We've had a cartridge recharged, and they guarantee them 100%, or they will
replace or refund the purchase price, but we have yet to see what the 
quality is like, since our second cartridge is still cranking away.

     If anyone out there knows what kind of toner goes in a laserwriter
cartridge I would appreciate hearing from you. I need a brand name and
part number and possibly where it can be obtained in quantity.
Please reply to "jinkins@ngp.cc.utexas.edu". Thanks in advance.
