- Actually, this doesn't sound like too bad of a price, Ed. However,
- if they just pick up the old one and replace it, are they going
- to clean the printer? I've discovered that although recycling the
- old toner cartridges is the environmentally correct thing to do, the
- recycled cartridge that is installed isn't as good as a brand new one.
- I would advise you to purchase from a company that will sell you new
- cartridges, and give you credit for your old one. Most I have
- seen will give you a $15 credit for your old cartridge toward the
- purchase of a new one.
