Also, how old? As some age you need drums and more to get it to as-new performance. Sometimes a new printer is cheaper than the drums.
Hey all,
So I've had my Samsung printer for a little while now and despite it being a laser printer, I've always been happy with its image quality... until it's recently started acting up.
Two problems started to appear more or less simultaneously: colored pictures now have these 'stripes' and the toner at the edge gets literally torn off by the printer. I have attached some pictures to illustrate the problems. Neither the manual nor the internet seem to have any suggestions about cleaning the damn thing, so I thought I'd ask you guys if anyone knew what was up and if this issue could be fixed somehow...
