Lately our LaserWriter IINTX here at work has been exhibiting
strangeness on some printed pages.  When we print a pure black
area on a page, sometimes the printer will precede the area with
a smudge that almost resembles an ink bleed (which would be
impossible; this is not an inkjet...)  The "blotch" is not pure
black and it does not have sharp edges, and it never preceeds
normal text; only pure-black blocks that are at least 1/2 high.

I've cleaned the solenoid wire recently with a q-tip and
alcohol...    Is there something else I can try and check before
we have to pay for a costly repair visit?  Any answers appreciated.
