Many moons ago, before I got paid to be a geek, the office I worked in used
remanufactured toner cartridges for our HP IIP and IIIP printers.  We went
through about one a week (those were printers that never saw a moments
rest), and I remember having one bad cartridge in about four years time.
The ink came out splotchy.  When we called our supplier they replaced it the
next day at no charge.

You may want to look for a couple of different suppliers.  Replacing the ink
in these things (though I don't know exactly how they do it) is supposed to
be a highly controlled process.  If it is not done just right it won't work.
Therefore, one company may not be as good as another.  Unfortunately, it was
so long ago that I had experience with them I can't remember the company we
used.
