Hi,
Did you consider the cost of a new cartridge ?
Sooner or later you'll need that.
In my case I sent to scrap an old Laserjet IIIp after
a loong time of getting best solid blacks han newer
ones (was 1992)
That was good for making letter copies on 'calco type'
paper (translucid) so it got camera-ready, avoiding
costly film based output (i.e. Linotronic)
The cost factor was crucial when facing to replace
consumables.
Just the the cartridge, would above 100 dollars these
days almost a price to consider buying a new one.
Hope that helps.
Sam

Laser printer help
Posted by: "docstein99"
docstein99@... docstein99 Tue Mar 6,
2007 8:09 am (PST) 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?

I can't really tell you about the 6L specifically, but
I can tell you that I bought an HP LJ 4 and then a
Verbatim brand remanufactured toner
cartridge which left lines on the print.
I returned it and got another
one which worked perfectly.
I didn't know if it was the printer or the
toner but it turns out I was right.
