Question about Samsung ML 1450 Laser Printer

Samsung ML-1450 printer

Every time I print, there is a shadow further down the page of what I am printing and general black roller marks. I have tried cleaning the roller inside with some wipes but this makes no difference at all. The print quality apart from this is fine and the writing is all dark enough but all the prints look very messy because of this.

Sounds like your PCU is starting to fail. There is a cleaner roller that removes any remained toner and this could be shot. Try replacing the PCU. If this makes no difference it could be the fuser though this si less likely.

PCU - photo conductor unit. The cartridge you slide in and out that helps create the image

I would check that the tension between your fusing rollers is ok as the toner will come off the paper and than return back to paper on its next revolution causing a faint image further down the page

Samsung ML-2010 Mono Laser Printer leaves unwanted marks on page.

if older printer or well used printer (All laser printers if they have print quality issues - it is mostly either the toner or the fuser). the only way to tell is get (borrow) a toner and see if problem is the same or remove the fuser (the hot thing in the printer) and see if the "ironing" unit or fuser rollers are dirty or worn out or scratched

Samsung ML-1450 "Time out" error

I would try to reinstall the drivers for this printer and make sure it is your default or selected printer. It sounds like the drivers were changed or corrupt. Any new software install may of done this. Also try to let the printer be unpluged from power for 24 hours.

Consistent, faded and streaking vertical lines across entire page, from top to bottom.

Toner issue getting to drum - use gen toner cart.

or Drum blade stuffed (lines are down page fro top to bottom- replace drum assy

Drum has been exposed to light faint or blank across copies repeated 4 times down page - replace drum assy

or upper fuser roller stuffed, down page, smudgy print - replace fuser

LSU(laser) or boards rarely cause issues
