Okidata C5100 - random background color

Okidata C5100 - random background color by MicMac (12/25/07 9:07 AM) reply + / -
My 4-year-old OKI color laser prints fine except for intermittently adding a yellow background to the pages. One print job will be fine, the next will have yellow backgrounds, no pattern to it and I have spent weeks experimenting with different document types, etc.

When I set the driver to print in "greyscale only" this problem doesn't happen. Unfortunately the driver won't default to greyscale so I have to set it every time - PITN!

I have set up the latest XP drivers for this printer and that did not cure the problem.

Anyone ever encounter this before?

Try to reset the OKIdata toner drum (Follow RTINSC instructions). I had same problem and it fixed it...
