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!
Is your machine one that uses a separate toner cartridge / drum setup or is it replaced all at the same time. On the separate ones, its a sign that the drum has had it. On the toner+Drum kind, its an indication the cartridge has been re-filled one to many times. Your heat and pressure rollers can also cause this, but because they are smaller, they would leave marks all up and down the paper. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
