My Samsung ML-2010 has started printing consistent, faded and streaking vertical lines across an entire page from top to bottom. I have created a test page of solid black lines and the pattern is 100% (as far as I can see) the same on each and every line. Pattern does not suggest a problem with the print roller. Just filled my toner cartridge, and downloaded new driver, but problem still exists. Starting to believe problem is with the laser gun, or circuitry itself, but would like to get a definitive answer. This printer is 1 1/2 years old.
Toner issue getting to drum - use gen toner cart.
or Drum blade stuffed (lines are down page fro top to bottom- replace drum assy
Drum has been exposed to light faint or blank across copies repeated 4 times down page - replace drum assy
or upper fuser roller stuffed, down page, smudgy print - replace fuser
LSU(laser) or boards rarely cause issues

Found the problem. Took apart the drum assembly and found that the opening where the toner comes out onto the drum was the culprit. Appears the toner was possibly clogging up at the opening, so I simply cleaned it up and that took care of the problem.
I have the same problem. Can you give me some direction on how to disassemble the cartridge to get at the offending area? I am somewhat familiar with the catridge since I have refilled a few. How did you protect the drum from light during what must have been a fairly lengthy process? The product lit says more than a few minutes in light is bad for the drum. The problem cartridge is a genuine Samsung ML-2010D3 that still has toner in it and has never been refilled.
I am having exactly similar problem with my printings .... After spending some time doing toner autopsy i figured out that the culprit is the Foam strip that cleans the roller which rolls in conjunction with drum...
When u disassemble the toner you will see a black roller which remains in contact with the drum. This roller gets cleaned by the Foam strip which possibly has been wiped out right at that location where vertical lines are produced
getting vertical red streaks across printed page
