Hp 2430 laser printer printing residual ink on left side of paper

SOURCE: LJ 2430 Printing Blank Pages

HI there have you tried the toner cartridge as this could also cause this problem? Also change the transfer roller and are the bands going from left to right or from up to down. If the bands are left to right change both if up to down more likely to be the toner cartridge.



Hope this helps you
Thanks J
