I have just inhereted a second hand HP laserjet 6L printer - the only problem is there is always a faint vertical line right down the centre of the page - is it FUBAR'ed or does it just need a new toner?

cheers,

mike.

 

I have a 6L

The toner / developer cartridge is all in 1, so I'd go for a new one. I'd also buy the real mccoy, and not an aftermarket one (they're not sufficiently cheap enough to justify imho)

 

BuRR-

spot on mate I put in the spare toner and its mint.

I take back everything I ever said about coppers

mj, [walks off shaking head wondering why he didn't do that in the first frapping place ]

 

You might also want to check the fuser unit.

 

Seconded you can repair these yourself it's normally the teflon roller that's got a scratch in it that need replacing

 

The fuser unit and toner all all-in-one with these printers
