This printer has served me well for several years since inheriting it from a friend. It has always been rather light even on maximum dark settings but is now getting to the point where I'm thinking of actually buying (gasp!) a new printer.
The symptoms are that thin lines print very light while large areas are solid black.
The toner cartridge and been replaced with no change.
It's not used very much, mainly for mailing labels and is clean inside.
It seems to me that there use to be settings for darkness in the LJ5 driver but since upgrading (!!) to XP, they don't appear anymore. That improved it a bit, though never as dark as it should be. But might be enough.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
