laserprinter problem

[johnd]

I'm getting a few bands of fresh toner (rubs off somewhat) across the page of my output. Any ideas? I've got a laserwriter select 360

Bad drum or cartridge possibly.

Time to have it serviced. I think it's a drum problem. Even if it's not, it's not something easily servicable.

Not really worth fixing if you can't do it yourself.

Just pick up a Samsung ML1710 for $100 and you'll get quite the boost in performance as well!

After my Apple Laserwriter Select 360 died, I moved to the Samsung ML1210 and it is just so much better!

Then again, the Apple laser was free...

Sounds like it could be a problem with the fuser. Are these bands where you expect there to be something printed?

[johnd]

The bands occur if there even when printing a blank page from a drawing program. The bands are unfused and powdery. I suspect it's the fuser roller, but how difficult is this to change? I like the idea of the previous post to invest in the new samsung $100 (after rebates) printer....hahha But the the fixit side of me wants to try to remedy it first. Also, anyone know about using a mac sharing a network printer hosted by a pc via Maclan's networking software?

When you do print something is that stuck to the page Ok or does it rub off also?

[johnd]

I've done another test, and text is fused, including the enitire length of bands which are spaced about 3.75" apart running horizontally across a portrait oriented page.

The lines are approximately 1/8" thick and each line bleeds off the left side of a portrait page and continues to the right side and bleeds off the page.
