[I can't seem to find a more appropriate newsgroup that's had any
traffic in the last several months.]

We have a LWII NTX that sometimes produces pages with a 1/8" black
smudge down the right side of the page.  Once it starts doing it, it's
essentially continuous.  Putting in another cartridge "fixes" things.
Reinstalling the "bad" cartridge brings back the smudgies, so the
problem definitely seems to be with the cartridge.

Any ideas or experience with this?  The cartridge had printed about
5200 pages, but the toner light had not yet come on.
