Samsung ML-1450 printer not working properly

posted by diane7 on Sep 11, 2007


I purchased a Samsun ML-1450 laser printer about a year and a half ago and it's been great ... until earlier this year I went to use it and the print quality had declined, like it needed a head clean.

I ran the Dr Printer software that came with the printer, but still it couldn't find/troubleshoot the problem.

I've taken the toner cartridge in and out and it seems fairly heavy/full so I don't think it needs replacing but I'm not sure.
The cartridges are expensive so I don't want to have to buy one if it's not necessary.

Can anyone help ?
thankyou

All toner cartridges have a waste toner area where excess toner is stored, therefore appearing to be heavy. The 1450 will not ask for toner when depleted, and Samsung cartridges are cheaper than competing brands.

AcuLaser C1000N... Problem
is valid for all Printers
It is most likely to be the ITU - Imagev transfer unit, on average for samsungs you will get between 15k to 30k pages before one of these needs replacing.
and for a samsung you will have a "Waste toner hopper" check to see if this is full. if so empty it and try again
