We have had a few problems with our 2115 here.  Poor print quality after about 
4K pages has been one of them.  It seems that TI has a problem with the 
developer tray.  Supposedly this problem has been fixed and our printer was 
field upgraded to the new developer tray.  However, after about another 4K 
pages, it started fading out again.  I refrained from changing the OPC belt as 
our unit only has only printed 11K pages.  We called TI out again, and again 
they replace the developer tray, and the print quality returns.  I don't know 
if the first developer upgrade was not the "NEW-IMPROVED" model, or we are 
going to have to replace the developer tray every 4K+ pages or so.  If this is
the case, perhaps they should sell deveolper trays complete with toner instead
of toner cartridges.

We have another problem with our 2115, and I would be interested in hearing
from other 2115 users to see if they have seen this one as well.  When
printing multiple lines of the same linewidth, some are wider than others.
We have told TI, but they have offered no solution at this point.
