Re: [GreenYes] recycling laser printer cartridges

We bought some ink jet cartridges once that were recycled  and
almost none of them worked.

Iam now afraid to buy anything but the name brands in the store. 
When it comes to ink jets, H-P says you cannot re-fill them, so H-P has
set up a recycling program. The patent will be public, they 
say.

The big cartridges are different and i have not tried to use one of
them.
