Julius, our PC technican, has worked on printers for years. His first inclination was the same as you -- new toner cartridge. It brings with it a new drum each time on the HP B&Ws. We did have one bad cartridge once, FWIW. Failing that, he suggests that pulling out the fuser--one can see if there's gunk on or near the rollers. If so, change the fuser kit much as Jeremy suggested. If not, consider testing the laser assembly by swapping with another 4050... if either the laser or the tracking is failing, it might produce the same result.
