   LOL! Sounds like you've done this once or twice...   
      
   I put down old newspaper and wear disposable gloves and old clothes   
   (then, of course, no toner will spill. But if I didn't...). Don't try to   
   wipe up any spilled toner - use a vacuum cleaner on it first.   
      
   I had a couple of cartridges from a dead laser printer, and have slowly   
   been using up the toner from them in the replacement printer. I did,   
   though, have to do a little bit of soldering on the page-counter chip to   
   stop it preventing me using the old toner as a refill rather than having   
   to buy a new OEM cartridge.
