THANKS SO MUCH BENIMUR!!! I did try shaking - But no luck... Its funny that you mentioned heat.. I have noticed that printer feels hot.. Hotter then most that is. : )
I may have to give in and have someone look at it.. Although I am great with tools.. I think I need an expert- Plus I am wearing white pants..
HAHAHAH.. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I have several light areas running in lines down the middle-left side of printer. I spun drum around and tried to clean but it kept putting out more smeared toner. I have tried 3 different toner cartridges at $68 a pop! This is realatively new unit. How does one get warranty service or more accurately how likely will I be to get Samsung to pay for repairs and how quickly, on site???
This sucks!

Hi,
On another Samsung model (ML1610), I tried shaking the toner cartridge left & right (presumably to evenly distribute the powder inside). On another instance, it was caused by a replacement cartridge (not original) and then again was when I tried simply refilling the old original cartridge.
In all cases, the drum (which was inside the cartridge assembly)had to be cleaned, or the cartridge replaced (with original). The most tedious was when I had to open the cartridge and remove the replacement toner that has formed into solid lumps.
Hope this be of some help. Pls post again how things turn up. Good luck and kind regards.

If I may add, if replacing with an original cartridge assembly and cleaning the drum doesn't correct the problem, it is possible that you may have a heater problem, (uneven heat, smeared glass, something is lodged between the heater and the center area of the paper). If this is the case, then you would need a qualified service professional to open it up and check the inside. I will not recommend that you do it yourself not unless you are confident working with tools and don't mind getting yourself black sooth all over. Cheers.

Its a problem with the black developer unit inside the opc drum. This ahppens to all the samsung printers. The only way to fix it is to change the black developer and to upgrade the firmware.
