I have a HP Laserjet 1000. It is an old machine: but it has always worked well. However, lately, I have a problem with it. Every time I print a photo, it shows two faint white lines that are 3 inches apart (they are white horizontal lines). By the way, this only happens with the photos, but not with pages which consists of text only. Because the text prints are always OK. What can the cause be? I have used the HP laserjet cleaning utility several times (about 20 pages). And I have not been able to solve the problem yet. Also I have shaked the toner cartridge quite a lot of times and I do not manage to solve the problem. The laser printer really has an original toner cartridge of HP: C7115A. And in fact, I still get good prints with it: except for photos. The truth is that the photos are printed well (except for the fact that every photo always shows the two mentioned faint white lines: exactly two white horizontal lines). By the way, this problem is certainly shown in the Cleaning Page when performing the HP Laserjet cleaning utility. I have scanned one of those cleaning pages. See it in the following link: http://oi42.tinypic.com/5wxzr.jpg What might be the problem? Any suggestions?
The white ghost lines are down to the charge wire within the toner cartridge being dirty, the only real way forward is to replace the toner cartridge as access to the charge chorona wire is not possible without ruining the cartridge itself
Testimonial: "Thank you. I have replaced the toner cartrigde and the problem has disappeared."

Is your transfer roller clean?
How does the drum look on the toner cart?
Is the fuser getting bad?
Would you consider this an old image that is ghosting?

Hi Friend,
You have mentioned this is a 2nd hand printer,
you have to service the printer,(fuser unit)
if the problem exists after fuser service check Laser Scanner also,
Thanks

Check the cartridge and make sure that there is no scratch on any of the cylinder. If any cylinder is scratched you will need to replace it. Perform a cleaning with isopropylalcohol in these cylinders if they are not dirty and test the printer. If the problem persists, probably the fuser film is damaged and will need to replace it. If the line still continues to appear, the laser scanner may be dirty or damaged. Try to clean it or replace it.
