Every sheet I print there are 7 horizontal thick black lines all the way across my paper. I have cleaned everything that I can get to on the inside. What else can I do?
Can you measure the distance between the bands. This is usually a cartridge issue, but if you have the same problem with 2 carts, then it could be a contact issue. Check the left and right insides of the printer where the cartridge seats and check that all the little metal contacts are straight. A bent contact will not deliver the correct voltage for an image to form and often will result in this problem.
That is usually a sign that the Drum has a burned out spot. it comes out exactly the same distance, which is the circumference of the drum. replace drum and replace the black sponge roller (transfer) under drum.

I can see a couple of possibilities here. One: The cleaning blade for the drum could be damaged and not all of the toner is being cleaned off of the drum between pages. Two: The drum could be damaged and the damaged parts of the drum are not accepting the changes generated by the laser. I don't think you have a fuser problem because if it were that, the toner would probably smear when you touch it. Typically, I would say it is the toner cartridge but you replaced it and still got the same problem. I would inspect the drum cleaning blade first. That would be the most cost effective first option. Hope this helps. Good luck.

yes you have to catch printer making the line and then as a page is being printed you need to open door to stop paper after green cylinder(drum) as it is entering fuser, then you need to remove paper from printer without pulling through the fuser, if you see the line then rub your finger across line up and down page, if it smears at all then its the cartridge if not then the fuser

You people are stupid! After the first person detailed the problem, why do you reiterate by saying "me too, me too"? People come here looking for answers, not more of the same. Here's a suggestion. If you don't have a solution, don't say anything!!!

Put the old cartridge back in. Print a page. If the lines go away, get another cartridge.
