I have an older HP LaserJet 5MP that's been working fine for many years, but lately it's been spilling toner on to the shiny metal plate just below the toner cartridge. Imagine the spots all over the resulting prints.
I keep cleaning up this toner and it keeps coming back. These cartridges are close to $100.00 - I can get another used laserjet for half the price.
But before I replace it, does anyone know what's causing the small amount of toner to spill out on to the shiny metal strip? Apparently the paper must pass over this strip and that's the toner spots are coming from.
It might be an easy fix, and then again...it might be toast.
Thanks!
