Oh the top of the cartridge is a slot. Inside this is a wire, called the corona wire. It needs cleaning. You can use the green brush that comes inside of the printer or a Q tip. Sometimes the drums wears out, but we encounter this problem a lot at our labs and it is almost always the corona wire. Aram Adishian adishian@dorm.rutgers.edu
