LaserJet 6P toner problem
Hello. I'm looking for advice regarding a toner problem that's
happening when I print with my HP LaserJet 6P. The pages print fine, but I think some of the toner is sticking to the drum and causing a streak of toner to come out on the page. This happens especially in areas of the page where there are dark illustrations. Here's an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.wonderella.org/printproblem.htm Should I clean part of the printer? Part of the toner cartridge? Any and all advice gratefully accepted! Thank you, Clint |

LaserJet 6P toner problem
Thanks for the quick help, Wayne. If that's the case it's a real shame, because I just bought the toner cartridge. It was a refurbished one, so maybe that's the problem. Clint * * * * * Wayne wrote: Replacing the toner cartridge fixes most things like that. |

Thank you, Clint Clint The problem is ghosting (the image is repeated but at lower density), as you have pointed out toner is sticking to a roller. This can be one of two places only. Either the toner cartridge drum or a fuser roller. If the problem happened immediately after you replaced the toner cartridge then as someone suggested take the cartridge back for replacement. If not then the fuser has failed (hopefully not as this is expensive). Ghosting is more often the fuser than the cartridge but it is important to eliminate the cartridge first, fuser failures usually show up slowly but cartridge failures often happens more quickly. If it is the fuser you might be able to replace the roller sleeve yourself, if you wish to do that report back here and I will gladly give you some pointers. Tony |

Thank you, Clint It's NOT your cartridge. It's your fuser, specifically the pressure roller is wearing out. Cadet |

LaserJet 6P toner problem
Intriguing! At any rate, I've just come back from the store with a new cartridge. Let me swap it out and see if the problem persists. Would anyone like to place a wager? Clint |

LaserJet 6P toner problem
Those printers are bad for loose paper sticking on the rubber fuser rollers.
Its not the toner but the paper. I had one this week that had loose paper stuck in the fuser. The printer would still print but the page would come out slightly wrinkled. Avoid using recycled paper. Those little flakes of paper will adhere to the rubber fuser roller. "Tony" wrote in message news wrote: Intriguing! At any rate, I've just come back from the store with a new cartridge.

Statistically I would go for the fuser, but I have seen toner cartridges ghost occasionally and they are cheaper than fusers. Good fault finding technique on a laser is to always eliminate the toner cartridge before you start swapping out other parts for any fault that could be toner cartridge related. So in this case I go for the cartridge 'cos it's a better result for you. And I am unlikely to be in your neck of the woods for ages.g Good luck. Tony |
