I made a thread about this months ago that has the info I'm looking for, but I get 404 error going to the link. I posted in another thread about it since many people are also having 404 issues right now. maybe if someone can get the link to work they can just copy paste the info here?
here's the old link

What I'm asking is, when I was learning how to refill my printer cartridge, I saw this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQBxPO5a0-4
It's the only video out of many that mention developer powder plus regular toner powder. He shakes the toner with the developer and just fills the cartridge. So I messaged many sellers on ebay asking if their toner refills powder has developer already mixed in, and I'm pretty sure they all said no (that info's in the 404 link I think). One ebay seller said yes I must refill both toner and developer and gave me the following links which describe NOT to shake the toner with the developer powders together but rather there's a separate slot for just the developer as shown.

and here's the developer powder

When I search ebay for things like "printer developer -toner" (excluding toner) there's almost no developer powder I'm referring to. Since 99% of the refill tutorial videos are people just refilling with the developer powder and no developer, then it seems to work, but again, this developer powder seems needed, so I'm very confused, and I print high quality label stickers sometimes and don't want to mess it up. The developer powder is actually magnetic dust that the toner clings to and then the toner drum roller can then carry the toner VIA magnetics onto the toner roller (or something like that).
My cartridge doesn't have a separate slot for the developer powder like the link shows with the thin strip of tape being pulled back. I have just one hole, so maybe I will just have to shake the two powders together. I have a XEROX phaser 6180.
Lastly, why are there warning icons all over the insides of my laser printer showing a light bulb crossed out as if to avoid light? Am I supposed to work in the dark or something? I avoid bright direct light and sun light and pointing a flashlight directly at it (the black plastic-y sheet inside, but just wondering.
