I use this place :

http://www.zinetic.co.uk/qms-konica-minolta-toner-refill.html

you get a pouring spout that fits onto the bottle so its very easy. Intructions show you how to reset the cartridge so that you can use all the toner up to which is good !

I've used https://www.refilltoner.com for the same printer.
I've used their black toner, you'd probably want to get a starter kit first as it contains detailed instructions on how to do it (The other stuff included in it is dust mask and gloves both of which you can easily get elsewhere).

You'll notice that the refill black toner prints heavier/stronger than the original toner however unless you need very high quality prints, its acceptable.

Also make sure the cartridge is really empty otherwise it will jam if you refill when there still is toner inside.

The printer will tell you that your existing cartridge is empty long before it really is so just keep on using it until you see it run out on your prints (You'll be surprised at how much toner it still has left).

After at least 10,000 prints or maybe more than that, the printer will tell you that the drum needs replacing, save yourself some money and just replace a fuse on the drum (google for instructions), you'll know that the drum is failing when the print quality decreases.

Hope you find this useful!

Edit: And i've just realised i'm 2 years too late! But hopefully someone else will find this post useful.

Edit2: refilltoner.com seem to be cheaper for black and zinetic.co.uk appear to be cheaper for colour.
