Greetings to ALL.  I just wanted to share about my latest cost-cutting
project.

Toner cartridge on my little HP LaserJet 4L finally ran dry a few weeks
back. I figured it wouldn't cost much to get a refilled cartridge.  I
called some of the local refillers and got 3 different prices, ranging
from $51 to $59. New ones at Office Depot and such were, of course more
- - all of these options were 2 to 3 times as much as I paid for the
whole printer.  I wasn't pleased.

I checked at Ebay, searching for a bargain, and ended up buying a
do-it-yourself toner refill kit - - just a little plastic jug of dry
toner. Whole thing was $8, plus shipping and insurance.

All I had to do was take a utility knife and cut a small hole in top of
the cartridge, then carefully pour the dry toner in there thru a small
funnel. Then, tape over the hole when finished.  Just took a few
minutes.

Viola -  it worked like a charm.  Prints like a new one now.  With the
shipping and all,  cost less than $15.  I like it.
