A method and apparatus of preventing filling of a non-identification toner. The method includes sensing an update request of remaining amount information of a toner in a toner cartridge to be refilled with the toner using the refill toner kit, and confirming a refill identifier of the refill toner kit and updating the information of the remaining amount of the toner. When refilling the toner cartridge with the toner, if a non-authenticated toner is loaded in the toner cartridge, the remaining toner information of the toner is not updated, thereby preventing a part of the printer from being damaged, allowing only authenticated toners to be introduced in the market, securing the reliability of the toner products, and preventing conflicts of interest of an authenticated toner manufacturer with a non-authenticated toner manufacturer.
