Can I get my toner cartridge refilled?
Hi,
I own a Samsung SCX-4300 printer. Can I get my toner refilled or should I just purchase a new one? Do you know a place to get it refilled?
Thanks.

Really? I thought there would be a company you could ship your cartridge to and they'll refill it. Ever heard of that?

When shipping costs are factored in, it develops that this is impractical. It costs $10 to ship a cartridge one way, so after paying shipping to a rebuilder, and shipping back from the rebuilder, $20 shipping on a $40 cartridge is a bit steep. The shipping charges equate to a $20 discount on a cartridge bought at a local office supply store, or a $10 discount on a cartridge bought on fleabay. Office supply stores also give an additional $2 to $3 rebate on their affinity cards for recycling an old toner cartridge.

Thank you.

However you may need to reset the chip on the toner cartridge.
