Dell 3000cn Laser Printer - Splotches?
Not sure if this is the right board, but nowhere else seemed appropriate...
I have a Dell 3000cn laser printer and I'm noticing some ink splotches/smears when I print color pictures. This printer has had a lot of use, but all the toner levels are very high so it cannot be that. Possibly something just needs to be cleaned? The imperfections always seem to be in one single line all together.. as if it's one certain spot inside the drum (or whatever). Maybe by looking at the picture you guys might be able to tell something I cannot...
Circled in red...

it appears the "splotch" is affecting more than one color, I would check your suspect your drum cartridge, there's a chance it could be the fuser as well, but judging by your sample pic you should be able to spot the defect.
sometimes a little something gets on the drum and can be cleaned off (very carefully with a soft lint-free cloth)
Congrats, drum kit should help.
