[Ham-Computers] Lines on Laser Printer Output?

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

	Many laser printer manufacturers suggest you replace the drum when you see
lines on the output. Check your manual to be sure.

	As to using non-company toner and such, I would advise against it. Many of
the "remanufactured" cartridges don't quite match the original. I had a very
nice Lexmark laser printer, and as soon as I put in an off-brand toner
cartridge, it seized up. Found out it had something to do with the sensor on
the toner cartridge not quite matching what the printer was expecting.

	Sometimes cheap just doesn't pay.

We had been seeing some lines on the output of our Samsung
ML-2251NP
laser printer for a while, even after we replaced the
original toner cartridge
with a new one.

Does this suggest that the drum or something is bad?

The cheapest replacement toner cartridge is a non-Samsung
for $41.  I don't
want to spend that money if the printer is likely to
continue producing the
unwanted lines.

WDYT?
