Extend life of your Brother Toner Cartridge

The Brother HL-5250DN is a fantastic mono laser printer. But it does moan about toner a lot. In fact, if you change your cartridge when the "toner low" warning light first goes on, you'll lose out on loads of perfectly good page impressions.

So here's a video demonstrating how to get every last particle of toner out of a cartridge.

Just worked on an HL-2070N I have. There's 2 windows, just cover up both with tape, and voila! Saved me from a midterm I needed printed notes for!

Can you refill the toner using toner refill from ebay and then tape the window and run that until the toner refills and repeat?
