 | HP 2200 Streaking Ink by kjsachan (7/25/05 4:20 PM) reply | + / - | I have an HP 2200 that is streaking ink down the left side of the paper. I'm assuming this is a roller problem, so I'm looking for instructions on how to properly remove the rollers so that I can clean them up and rejuvinate them. I've been searching the net for over an hour and had no luck. Does anyone have any instructions, advice, or guides that could help me? Thank you!!

Are you talking about the left side of the paper as it comes out of the machine, or the left side when you hold it in your hands? They might be the same, might not.
Rollers are not usually removed for cleaning.
Can you fool the cover interlock and print with the cover open so you can see what's happening?

The lines are horizontal, therefore I'm thinking it's the toner or the roller. The toner cartridge has been replaced, but it's still streaking.
I do want to take the roller(s) out and clean them, just in case some loose toner got into the printer. I just don't know exactly how, and can't seem to find any documentation/instructions on how to do so.

Put a sheet of paper on the manual feeder and push the button for a self test. When the paper is about 3/4 of the way in lift the top cover to stop the printing and look at the image below. If the defect is there it is the toner, if not, it is the fuser and most likely the teflon cover has become torn on one side. You can email Moe@fixyourownprinter.com as he does not list a kit for the 2200 but does for the 2100 and if memory serves me the fusers at least as far as the teflon is concerned should be the same.

| Re: HP 2200 Streaking Ink by Stephen (7/25/05 6:37 PM) reply | + / - | I was assuming it was an inkjet, since laser printers use toner, and you said ink was streaking.
Do not take out the rollers you are thinking about removing, if you want to take out a roller that's in the printer you are probably considering cleaning the transfer roller, that could cause you a lot of trouble, and you might even ruin it.
The 2100 uses a LaserJet 4000/4050 film sleeve, the 2200 uses a sleeve which fits the LaserJet 1500/2200/2300/2500.

Your problem sounds like a bad toner cartridge, try to change it out. One way to check also is load the manual tray with a sheet of paper & run a test, as the last part of the page disappears open the toner lid & check the paper if your lines are there its most likely the cartridge.
