Anyone here with experience of refilling LaserJet toner
cartridges? In
particular, the 96A cartridges for the 2200 printers?

Sorry no, when we looked into the economics - it just wasnt worth it,
the eBay warriors can do it cheaper and easier than refilling
yourself -
at least in the case of the HPCP1025 sets anyway. Youtube?

I've bought aftermarket 96A cartridges on Amazon -- two different
vendors -- and they've lasted less than a year, compared with original
HP or with OfficeMax-branded "remanufactured" cartridges that were
printing far more pages per month and lasting several years.

I've seen a few YouTube videos. Some show pulling the whole cartridge
apart, while others show just cutting a couple of holes.

Any particular eBay vendors whose refilled cartridges you'd recommend?

A little advice; I used to do this. The original drum can be re-used
once and
after that needs replacement.
It is a fairly easy process, you just need to buy good quality toner.

Well, now I am wondering about persisting with this printer at all or
replacing it by something more modern, such as a Brother laser
printer, for which genuine cartridges are far cheaper than genuine HP
cartridges. (And, yes, I know that the drum is a separate
"consumable," but not for a long time, given the number of pages I
print these days.)

Well, I decided to go for a Brother HL-L6200DWT as having similar
features to the current LaserJet 2200DTN. And with the Amazon Dash
activation (the printer signals when it is getting close to needing a
new toner cartridge or drum) there's an extra 10% saving on cartridges.

New printer for about the price of two OEM cartridges for the old one.

I have the Brother printer now, and it seems to be fine.
