Afaik none permit refilling. Most of the "illegal" refills use waste toner, which has a residual charge and therfore clumps. Also the toner assy. is forced open causing the corona wires, cleaning rubber and internal lamps to misalign, thus ruining quality. Further the drum coating wears off due to the cleaning assy pressure and is no good after one refill. > Speaking of multifunctional devices, are they really compelling? > especially the ones which have Fax and PC fax? Space saving. Otherwise an experienced PC user with scanner and printer can do all that the MF can. And the scanner and modem in the MF are relatively bad. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
