My new printer

Today I went to replace the black toner cartridge in my new laser printer (HP 2600n) This lasted just over 3 reams of paper - quite low for a laser printer (but one of the cheaper options). I learnt that firstly I should have used the phone or internet to find out who actually stocked the cartridges, as Noel Leemings, Bond and Bond, Dick Smiths, and Magnum Mac will only order them in, rather than keep them in stock. Warehouse Stationery stock them, but not all branches have them in stock. I s'pose it was a great opportunity atleast to try out the new Wellington bypass and changed one way streets. I decided to walk to many of the shops which was quicker in the end (and better for me of course). Another thing to watch out for is that the toner leaks out of the cartridge once out of the printer.
By the way I hope you're recycling your printer cartridges. HP do it for free, here is the link
I still don't have a new printer cartridge so that will be tomorrows adventure!
