The college where I teach has finally gotten around to purchasing some Macintosh hardware. Unfortunately, there's a problem with one of the Laserwriters. After printing about 10 copies, streaks begin to appear. The streaks are about 1" in from the left margin and run the length of the page in about a 1/2" strip. They make the output look like a bad xerox! The culprit _seems_ to be a metal strip that, when you open the printer, appears on the top half. It is scratched and scored, but feels smooth to the touch. The funny thing is, the same bar on other printers is also scratched and scored, but none of the others streak the pages. Has anything like this happened to anyone out there? Any clues as to what might be going on? Jan Harrington, sysop Scholastech Telecommunications ihnp4!husc6!amcad!stech!sysop
