Toner is an essential component of a printer. When your HP printer runs out of toner, you are required to purchase a new cartridge, which can be quite expensive. A cheaper alternative is to refill the toner of your existing HP cartridge. However, the problem is that the HP printer still recognizes the refilled cartridge as empty unless you properly reset the cartridge. Resetting the toner cartridge is a simple process that shouldn't take more than thirty minutes of your time.
