Life isn't infinite
There are many nice things to do, including nothing.
The money involved is small
I would donate the almost full cart
I would buy a new cart.

Off topic, but maybe somebody knows. Does the actual composition of black laser printer toner powder vary from model
to model?
I'm asking because... I recently replaced my 7 year-old Brother home laser printer because the drum wore out. At that
point, it seemed reasonable to buy a new printer, which was not much more expensive than a drum kit. This left me with
a nearly new OEM toner cartridge for it. The new replacement printer, of course, takes a different cartridge. My
question is, would it be OK to empty the old toner cartridge into a suitable bottle and transfer it into the new
printer cartridge, which is now saying "Toner Low." That might be less hassle than selling the old cartridge.
Old printer: Brother HL-5470 DW. Cartridge: TN750 (3000 pages)
New printer: Brother HL-L2460 DW. Takes cartridges TN830 (1200 pp) or TN830XL
(3000 pp)
There are several other possibilities: use aftermarket toner powder in my OEM cartridge, buy an aftermarket
"compatible" cartridge, or just suck it up and pay Brother's high prices.
