    Thank you, I just cleaned our company's printer and it works perfectly! Your video saved us! (Considering that my boss planned to get a new printer because there was a sticky substance on the drums...)

    Very useful and practical video. Had a question. If there are bands of color toner on the transfer belt, is it a drum problem or transfer belt issue? I cleaned the transfer belt, but when I I print again after cleaning the belt, it shows up again on the transfer belt and also on my print. Any suggestions?

    Hi I'm trying to resuscitate a Samsung CLP356W printer after few years of no use. Cleaning the drum as per your instructions works ok initially but rotating the drum it gets very dirty again (toner powder not grease or else) and it keeps like that even rotating several times.Is it normal or should I assume the drum unit is too dirty inside and needs to be replaced? Thank you for help.

    Hello I have an hp colorlaserjet pro mgp m182n that uses hp 216a color toner cartridges . The problem I am facing is that whenever I replace drum of black cartridge , it's intensity of black in every print increases, slight outline of black comes around some words and whole page is kind of blackish. This happens with every new drum.
