How do I replace a toner in my laser printer?????
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser printer for my home. I have had it for several months and I have printed at least 1,000 pages - I know the toner that came with it is going to run out soon, so I would like to go ahead and buy another one.
When going to websites that sell toners, I put in 'Brother HL-1440' and find drums, toners and refill kits. I can find TONER for about 35.00 that will print 6,000 pages.
My question is this: what should I look for in a toner or drum? what is the difference in the two? I would simply like to replace the thing that is in my printer and keep printing. Also, for under 40.00 for a toner that prints 6,000 pages, should that throw up a warning sign for me?
If you could send links to toners for this printer I would really appreciate it. Remember, I would like to purchase the thing and simply replace the one already in my printer - not take it apart and refill some stuff.
Thanks alot,
Brooks

Based on your usage, I would agree with DanCh99 and stick with the manufacturer's toner.
Refurbished or generic toners can save you money, but can also void warranty and damage your printer.
For something you are going to swap out once a year, I don't think it's worth the risk and headache to save a few bucks. On the other hand, if you were going through a cartridge a week, then it could be worth looking into a cheaper alternative.
