Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Laser printer help

The 6l is a good printer usually only suffering from multiple feed problems.
A lot of rebuilds are junk, many from China now. If you can scan something
that shows this and attach to email and send to me at rhb57 -at-
windstream.net (in normal @ email format of course) I can see what I think
it might be. I've rebuilt maybe 500 5L and 6L printers since they came out.

Looking for some advice from laser printer people here, since it looks
like so many people use the toner transfer, which I would like to give
a try.

I am using a HP Laserjet 6l found in the attic, dusty has been
sitting. I purchased a remanufactured toner cartridge for it (because
I am cheap).

So now the print comes out unsatisfactory. For example, if I print a
black and white checkerboard on an 8.5 x 11 sheet, I see waves in the
lines that vary contrast. Also getting what looks like some type of
alley down the center where some small roller hits the paper and causes
a variance.

So I was wondering if anyone knows that if laserjet 6L printers are
just junk - and to not bother trying to use this for anything other
then printing letters, or I should go head and replace the fuser film,
or possibly a NEW toner cartridge will solve the issues?
