Is refilling a Samsung ML 1520 as easy as taking out the plug an
pouring in the appropriate toner? I heard something about a chip in
the toner? (I know it uses different polyester toner to the 1510).

I posted this a few weeks ago about a similar thread re the 1520

I bought refill toner for the ML-1520 from consumable cafe at the same time
I bought my ML-1520 printer back in January. After reading the beginning of
this thread and someone pointing out you couldn't get toner for the ML-1520,
I revisited consumablecafe to see a Warning stating that toner wasn't
available in the UK yet for the ML-1520.

So I fired off an email to them asking why they had sold me toner for the
ML-1520 back in January when they now had a Warning on the very product they
sold me (ML1510 / ML1710).

They replied:
Now you've opened up a bag of worms!! Our ML1510 Samsung toner is being used
quite happily by quite a few customers who has tested it without any
problems on their ML1520 printers which was a HUGE surprise to me as the
ML1520 is simply a completely different type of toner however I suspect
Samsung failed to stop the lower grade toner from being used as no-one is
reporting any problems using it! I have checked with the toner manufacturer
who have since told me other companies are happily selling the ML1510 toner
as ML1520 toner so I suspect various tests have proven it not to damage the
printer or drum so although my official stance is that we don't sell toner
for the ML1520 I can safely say many of our customers are using the cheaper
ML1510 without any problems.

Hi Dave,
I did this a couple of months back. You need to unscrew 4 or 5 screws on the 
top of the cartridge and remove the top carefully (mine needed a little 
light persuasion with a straight screwdriver blade). Then pour in the powder 
(try not to inhale any, and have plenty newspaper around to minimise the 
mess) up to the top of the grid thing. Then re-assemble - it's all fairly 
straightforward.
Good luck!
