The printer woes are still plagueing me. I’ve cleaned the photoconductor unit to no avail. I’ve even taken a look at the image conveyer belt, and that seems fine. Actually, I’ve seen far more of tyhe inside of laser printers than I really ever wanted to.

I’m left wondering about the quality of the new toner cartridge. It was a cheap non OEM one, and whilst it managed 400 or so trouble free pages, it has to be seen as a little suspicious that so soon after replacing the original cartridge did printing anomolies arise. I’m trolling Ebay for replacements for both the toner and the photoconductor. Until I succeed in getting some spare parts for a small outlay, I have to regard my printer as annoyingly out of service. It picks its moments, so it does.
