I went there and read all of the messages for the 12/640. They weren't exactly favorably disposed toward this printer maintenance wise. Apparently parts are hard to come by and relatively expensive. They also say these are hard printers to work on and suggest not trying to do much yourself. One of the messages posted described a problem much like ours. A follow-up post said that he found something on the drum in the toner cartridge that was causing the problem. I looked at the drum in the old cartridge, but didn't see anything. When I tried that one back in the printer, the results were much, much worse. thanks, jim -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
