Brian,
I have had very good experience with
http://www.tonerrefillkits.com/It's thoroughly explained on their site, but basically you buy a first time reuasable kit ($12.95) to put a nice hole in the cartridge, pour in the toner and then seal the hole. The reset chip is included with the toner and they claim the refill is genuine factory toner.
This is a link to the HP p1006
http://www.tonerrefillkits.com/HP-Laserjet-P1006-CB435A-Toner-Refill-Kit-and-Toner-Cartridge.phpI have a Laserjet 1320 and refilled one cartridge. I notice absolutely no difference between a new HP cartridge and the refilled one. In fact, I just processed 5 new boards and they turned out perfectly. Overall, I am very satisfied with the product.
