Make friends with your local electronic salvage or junk yard - I see many
laser printers in the junkyard with partially filled cartridges.

Years ago I had an old HP Laserjet. (no model number - it was the first.)
When the cartridge ran out, I'd go down to the junkyard and find another. Kept
me going for many years.

Good luck,
Michael
