Hello everyone. I am not new here but it seems that way. I have an issue with a laserjet 1150 I use for quite some time now. It is old but still works just fine. I ordered a new tonercartridge (original HP cartridge as always) and placed it in the printer. Every page I printed was darkgrey(alsmost black) for 99 %, each next page a bit lighter but still unreadable. When I put the old tonercartridge back in, the printing was normal again. Ofcourse this old cartridge did not contain as much toner anymore as the new one. (In fact it was almost empty and had to be replaced).
So I ordered a second tonercartridge, thinking that the problem originated in the cartridge. But the problem stayed. Putting the old cartridge in, again brought everything back to normal.
What is wrong here ? Is the printer broken ? Is there a problem with the printhead ? Can I fix it myself ?
I already read the FAQ and manual on this website. Your consumer community board directed me to the business community board for this issue, since the printer is a commercial printer.
Thank you
Hoping to here from you soon.
Thanks.
