Getting More Toner

Bring the empty toner cartridge to Cartridge World and they will give you a full one for $50ish. They reuse the cartridges. They've always had plenty of this model in stock. If you know of a cheaper alternative please edit this wiki.

It's just down the road, 1.5 miles away. " Directions

Make sure you bring just the cartridge and not the entire drum thing. Those are more expensive and breakable.
