Hello,
With the C4092A, the factory refill cap was found just below the plastic
cover right. By breaking off the cover, one could access the refill cap
used by the factory to fill in toner powder.
Can anyone pls tell me where one find the factory refill cap for the Q2612A
toner cartridge used in HP Laserjet 1010, 1012, 1015, 3015, 3020, 3030?
Thx

There are two different versions of the Q2612A. One has a fill cap in the same
place as the C4092A, the other one has the fill cap blanked off with a
permanent piece of plastic, you could cut the plastic out and block the hole
somehow after filling, or fill through the slot where the magnetic roller fits.
The real problem with this cartridge is that you have to split the cartridge in
two to get at the fill cap or the mag sleeve opening. This is a very hard
cartridge to refill unless you are quite innovative or buy the special pin
removal tool that is used by professional remanufacturers. The tool is
available from Static Control Corporation

but you may have to order it from one of their resellers, it costs only a few
dollars. You could make one by bending the point over on the pointed tool that
is used to make holes in wood for starting a screw. You would then need to get
refill instructions to work out how to remove the pins. I am happy to put the
refill instructions together (Note that these will be instructions for a once
only refill, not a full remanufacture because that will require the purchase of
at least a new drum since the drums will only survive one refill) but it will
be pointless without the tool. The only other option is "drill and fill", also
a once only procedure, sealing the large hole you would need to make is going
to be the problem.
