How can I refill my Samsung ML1510 toner cartridge myself?Do not use toner powder that is not specifically formulated for the printer in question. Each manufacturer has different specifications and each printer works a little differently. Using the incorrect toner powder can ruin the printer. If you're committed to doing this yourself, it's fairly simple if you buy a kit designed for your printer as it'll undoubtedly come with directions. In short, you'll need to remove the fill plug at the end of the cartridge, carefully dump out any old toner to empty the hopper and refill it with new toner before reinserting the plug. It's assumed that you can do this up to 3 times per cartridge before the cartridge is completely worn out and must be rebuilt. Be advised that toner is a carcinogen (causes cancer) and that, once airborne, the particles remain in the air for hours. Spilled toner is extremely difficult to clean up and that refilling cartridges will require some tools. Do not use a regular vacuum to clean up spills, you'll gum up the works and burn out the motor. My recommendation is that you leave refilling to the experts, that way you're sure to get what you need and your printer won't get damaged.
