i agree with what was suggested already.
to tell how much toner is left:
buy one with a spare cartridge which is still sealed.

the older the printer the cheaper the toner. i get them for under eur 10
for my IIID, but as said, the 300DPI are really not very much.
the toners for newer printers are expensive at ebay (50% of shop prices)
