Problem was: LaserWriter NT producing 1/4" black band along entire edge
of page.

I fixed this type of problem on a HP Laserjet by cleaning the TONER 
CARTRIDGE'S (yes the cartridge) discharge wire. It is hidden inside
a long slot with a flap covering it that runs the breadth of the 
cartridge. There was a brush stored away inside the printer for just
this purpose but its use was only really described in the cartridge's
manual. The brush has a shelf and notch on it designed to prevent someone
from inserting it too far into the cartridge and snapping the discharge wire.
