Help on LJ1000
 

I have a customer who I sold a LaserJet 1000 to over a year ago and the
print is really faint. It was an ongoing problem and changing the cartridge
did not improve anything. A picture of the printout is at:

Can anyone comment on what may be wrong?
Any guesses as to what HP would charge for out of warranty repair on this?

TIA

I know this will sound strange but try different paper or even turn the
paper over. Some finishes don't take toner well. I've seen it make all the
difference.

Isn't the transfer roller a part of the cartridge on those? It is on most
of them.

The transfer roller appears not to be a part of the cartridge as listed
here:

http://sparepartswarehouse.com/rwm/H...000-Q1342A.asp

Following up:
I eventually got a laser/scanner assembly failure message within Windows.
Consider the cost of that part and not being sure about complications, I am
not going to try to repair it.

Thanks for the replies.
