Hi Mitchell,
I live in Girona in the north-east of Spain. It has a population of about
80.000 so it's not too big. There is a shop specialising in refilling
printer cartridges at low cost and is environment-friendly as it reutilises
your old cartridge. I use a Brother HL-1230 Laser and replacing the
cartridge this way does save me money. If such a shop can be found in a
small town like Girona, I'm sure there must be a few not too far from you.
Maybe this can be at least part of the solution.
Cheers,
Jonathan
