The black printing is becoming faint in parts.
I haven't yet run a cleaning cycle, but on looking at the cartridges the imaging drum on the black catridge has some gunk adhering to it.
I have Googled for instructions, but HP say replace it, and the more
specific sites seem so far to be all about stripping and rebuilding
(i.e.
remanufacturing) the cartridge, which looks over kill.
Has anyone cleaned this (or similar) laser printer?
I assume some Isoprpyl alcohol would clean the visible part of the drum
but at the moment the drum doesn't want to rotate when I try and twiddle
the plastic bits.
New set of toner probably called for.
I am not using original HP so perhaps the printer software isn't good at estimating remaining toner but the printer seems to think that all
cartidges have some life left.
I have no idea how to accurately estimate what is left, and it is years
since I changed the original (HP) shipping set for these remanufactured cartridges.
Advice and experience is, as usual, very welcome.
