An unpublished study at the University of Rostock in Germany is
reported to have found that the microscopic particles in toner are
carcinogenic, similar to asbestos. Several technicians who had been
working with printers and copiers on a daily basis were observed for
several years. They showed increased lung problems.[4]
Therefore please do not refill the cartridge yourself, for your own
health.
Quite old news. Way back in the photocopier days, there were some that
you refilled by pouring powder into a hopper. There were health
warnings about it, and people did all sorts of *carcinogenic* things,
which were supposedly okay if you washed your hands before eating. :-\

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
