where print is affected the print image fails to show behind Line effect but shows in between-
the drum surface has been damaged ( likely wear and tear) and can no longer maintain an even layer of electrons due to leakage/short
solution:
replace the toner cartridge which houses the drum.
Go to printer maintenance and perform deep cleaning, do this for 3 times. Then print nozzle check to see which color has a problem. If you still encounter your problem all you need to do is to replace your cartridge.
go into the printer and do a test print. start>printer & faxes>right click on the printer in question>properties>printer preference button> test print ... try the printer's own test print. This is usually caused by a poor print head, low ink, poor cartridge or the need for calibration. Look in the maintenance tab in the printer properties for head cleaner, jet cleaner etc. This also happens with refill ink cartridges.
