On any page we print, there are faint, black lines running down both sides of the paper, vertically. 
I have the same problem.

getting error SC 486

Comment by rcos, posted on Jan 08, 2008

At first I had the black vertical streaks on the right side of the page. Then black all but stopped printing on the page. The funny thing is that color prints ok. The printer alert for replacing the CPU did not turn on.

Thanks J - the CPU change solved my problem, though now, I get smudges (look like stains) of black on some pages, in different places, not the same.

HI there it would need a PCU (Photo Condustor Unit) or drum unit which ever you prefer.

Thanks J

Did you re-fill the black toner cartridge with genuine Ricoh toner or from somewhere else? It might be the wrong granularity.
