Lately our LaserWriter IINTX here at work has been exhibiting strangeness on some printed pages. When we print a pure black area on a page, sometimes the printer will precede the area with a smudge that almost resembles an ink bleed (which would be impossible; this is not an inkjet...) The "blotch" is not pure black and it does not have sharp edges, and it never preceeds normal text; only pure-black blocks that are at least 1/2 high. I've cleaned the solenoid wire recently with a q-tip and alcohol... Is there something else I can try and check before we have to pay for a costly repair visit? Any answers appreciated.

I've gotten NO replies to this post at all! I don't know if it helps, but an additional clue is that the text on the side of the page that is smudging has gotten lighter and slightly fuzzy. Shaking or changing the toner cartridge had no effect. If you have ANY idea what the problem might be, please e-mail or post here. Thanks!
