This is about my LaserSelect 360 printer. After years of trouble free service, I am noticing a series of smudges on my printouts. The smudges are exactly 1.5 inches apart, so I suspect that toner has gotten onto a roller inside the printer.

I bought a new toner cartridge, ran Apple's cleaning program (from the original installation disk), and vacuumed out the area where the toner cartridge is inserted...but the smudges remain.

Any advise about how to solve the problem would be appreciated.

It's probably not a dirty roller, as those usually clean themselves. That's almost certainly a fuser problem (bakes the ink onto the page). Some printers have a separate unit that you can service, but my LaserJet 4 has it integrated with the ink cartridge, so I had to change the whole cartridge.

I went onto the company's website (I advise you to do the same) and found exactly the symptoms I noticed. Apparently the distance between the smudges is important, as it relates to a different item if the distance is closer or father than the circumference of the fuser cylinder.
