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

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.
