How does one contact HP to complain about a lousy toner cartridge, and get a replacement?? 

This is the second one that was bad. 

HP's "support" (I use the term VERY loosely) website is an absolute disaster.  I apparently am not entitled to communicate with support because Support is only interested in helping with mechanical products; not the outrageously-priced accessory products (viz., toner) that they sell.

Try taking the cartridge out and holding both ends shake it from end to end to distribute the toner evenly.

Well, of course, I did that when I installed it (doing double the number recommended on the cartridge).  One end of the "green tube" has blue toner leaking out onto the metal cap.  No, this is a bum cartridge. Given what I paid for it, HP ought to replace it.  But of course, their website doesn't allow one to communicate with them concerning such subjects!
