why does my hp laserjet 2200D make extra black marks?

External Since: Dec 31, 2007 Posts: 1

A few weeks ago, suddenly, my hp laserjet 2200D hooked up to my
powerMac suddenly started to print with a lot of unwanted background
"shadows" or dirt. Is it a problem with my toner cartridge? Or is it
a problem with my printer?
(I don't want to buy a new toner cartridge if it is a printer problem
and not a cartridge problem...)

Carolyn-

You will find some HP printer repair experts in the
comp.periphs.printers newsgroup.

When you post there, it would help if you provide more information about
the marks. Do they occur at the same place on each page? Do they
appear at regular intervals? If so, how far apart are they?
