Try to check it out and print.

Hope it will solve your problem. Otherwise let me know if you need further assistance.

Helo Joe!

Clean charge corona unit and around the drum. If your problem did't stop you must replace the drum potential sensor.

cleaning the drum wont help sounds like waste extraction coil is blocked
very very very common on those copiers and cleaning blade is contaminated,or you didnt keep it level when u moved it.In any case ull need engineer to fix it,unless u brave enough to take the drum unit apart and hoover all the toner/paper dust from the waste coil.Just dont touch any metal bits on your hoover ull get electric shock, have fun.

Cleaning the drum will not help. Depending on many factors including drum condition, number of pages printed etc, you will need at least to replace the drum cleaning blade. This is a common cause of black streaks. The drum should have been clean. The fact that it has toner on the surface is pretty good proof that the cleaning blade is bad. The part number for the blade is B0392289. I would do a search for this part and get one before you even think about trying to deal with the streaking problem. Once you get the blade, if you are mechanically inclined then replacing the blade is not difficult.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.
