How very Telkom of them, if it doesn't say HP then you can't sell it. So their are basically just trying to line their pockets.

Screw them. Reliable third party ink and toner is cheaper and often better quality than the official product.

Well I think if it does say HP(meaning it is a fake product branded with the HP brand) and the product design etc is patent then you may not sell it.

But for refilling a cartridge or making your own molds(but not branding it, and only if the mold is not patented) and filling up that cartridges with ink and reselling it is not wrong.

Anyway I print all my documents using Pdf Creator, saves paper and Ink!

LOL!!!
Buy 3 to 4 compatible toners/cartridges and you've paid for the printer (depends on the printer of course). Should the printer "break" because of this, well you not really loosing anything, are you...
