oki printer grinding noise
Oki C3300 colour laser printer suddenly started making a horrible loud
grinding noise when it starts up. I've managed to ascertain it's the magenta roller/cartridge assembly. The grinding sound stops when I take the whole magenta lump out. Do these assemblies sieze up? If so are they repairable? thanks for any pointers.

They are very difficult to repair, and the parts are hard to locate. I think a replacement drum and toner cartridge is your best bet. Tony MS MVP Printing Image

Tony can't I use the existing cartridge? it has plenty of toner left in it, or is there a reason why the cartridge should be renewed as well...

The printer may well be reporting plenty of toner in the cartridge but the way this printer works is that the toner cartridge has actually dumped most of the toner into the drum unit and the amount of toner left in the toner cartridge is probably very little. You may geta away with replacing the drum unit only but not for very long, most likely not at all. Tony MS MVP Printing Image
