I have a HP Laserjet 5P. It's smearing toner across the whole page - while the page is printed, it's a shade of gray all along the whole page. There are clear banding parallel to the paper travel, so it's not a roller issue.
I'm guessing it's one of the scrapers inside the toner cartridge.
Anyone had experience with this and know how to fix this?
I had this happen to an old cartridge. When I replaced the cartridge, at first it was working nicely but after a few hundred pages it's smearing once more... A NOS cartridge so perhaps age had something to do with it, but I'm not sure if I want to risk getting another cartridge to experiment...
