    I have used a refill kit on my Samsung laser printer before and I have been given an unopened refill bottle of toner for a HP Laserjet. If I refill my Samsung with this toner, is it still likely to work and/or, what damage is it likely to do?

    Hi BG,

    Since you are not getting any help I'll stick my 2 cents in. I'm not really up on toner but taught and did Tech Support on such machines many years ago. The only thing my guys really got burned by was that some toner was Positive and some was Negative. Had to fit the process voltages in the machine. If wrong it just did not print. May all be the same today. Someone here should have some more modern info.

    Good Luck,
    Jim

    Thanks for the reply Jim, nothing to lose except possibly a dead cartridge so I'll give it a try

    Hi BG,

    Thanks for the feedback. I forgot to mention that the toner we were using was before cartridges. You poured it into the hopper of the machine from the can. They made it easier and cleaner when they put the drum and toner into a cartridge.
