I think part of the problem lies in the vendor that sells the cartiridges.
In the lab that I ioned cartridges for our HP
LaserJet IV's, our Laserwiter IINTX's, as well as our LaserWriter Pro. We
haven't had problems with leakage or any of that sort. Sue is right; they
don't last as long, but with the high volume that we go through, we decided
to stick with the recycled cartridges. If one vendor is giving you
troubles, try another. I think it is a matter of personal preference.
