Brother printer toner refill.?

Is it easy to refill the toner cartridge for a Brother laser printer model HL-2140? Where to find the toner and how to fill it?

1. Any office supply store should have a replacement cartridge. Might try the larger electronics stores too.
2. gah.. i'd never do that.. the one instance that the thing would fail, that room would be covered with that nasty dust (toner)
3. yes and no. it is easy to fill the toner but if it is the original toner which came with the printer, they deliberately leave out a $4 starter gear which is needed to regulate the amount of charge going to the drum. Without this gear, the copies will come out too light and be nearly useless. I threw out two of these printers until I came across Northbay Toner who explained this to me and provided what I needed. I now have two Brother lasers working well on $5 refills. For more info, see http://ccs-digital.com/northbay.html
