Hello, all--
Have an HP 2200D Laserjet. It's been putting a dark gray smudge on the lower 2/3 of the page, in the middle quarter or so of the page. I have lost the manual, and initial looks in Google have not been helpful. Is there some component that needs cleaning, and if so, what is it? (Please describe in detail.) Or if there's some sort of cleaning routine that can be performed from the 'puter, what is it, and how do you do it? I could run it from Linux 10.0 or Win XP, whichever.
I thank you for your patience and assistance!

Don't have this printer (I use a Lexmark) but this sounds like the felt on the bar (or whatever it is called :-) ) which keeps the paper pressed against the drum is now contaminated from long use and needs replacing. A new one should come with a new cartridge - or you can try and clean the current one, but I don't like your chances. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
