This printer started to usually print the first sheet output of the day with back streaks / blotches. After the first sheet, the print would then be relatively clean. I did the corona wire cleaning but it didn't really help as the next day, the same result. Now after some cleaning of the black drum (with some alcohol and cotton), it has gotten worse to the point now it prints "ugly" all the time. :-(
Is the toner just done or have I ruined the drum during my effort? System indicates the drum has about 60% life, toner 40%.
The attached picture shows the poor print on the left while the right print was a good one from an earlier period when a first bad sheet had already been printed.
I cleaned up / vacuumed / wiped interior areas of any loose toner. Didn't help.
Any guidance or help would be appreciated before I totally break the thing (if I haven't already). Thanks.
