Laser printer toner refill kits

[Robert Bindler]

I've found inexpensive toner refill kits on ebay which claim to be 100%
compatible, and very easy to refill. Does anyone have any experience with
these kits? Are there any disadvantages? Are they really that easy to use
(claim: 5 min)?

Not surprisingly, these don't seem to actually sell at auctions, but rather
are meant to be bought with the "Buy now!" button. Here's one I found, in
case there any question as to what I'm referring to:

Not those particular ones.

I've used bulk toner in my HPLJ4M+ for some time now, and it works
superbly and is almost free compared to replacing the cartridges at
retail.

And yes, it probably does take about 5 minutes to refill a cart, though
very minor toner spills are possible.
