Default Printer Overhauls?

Also, if this really is a 10 year old toner cartridge, methinks it
might also be a problem. Toner is somewhat hygroscopic and will
absorb a little moisture from the air. The result is caking and
packing inside the cartridge, resulting in anything from blotchy
printing, difficulties feeding, and occasionally a scratched drum
surface. That's why they're sealed in air and light tight aluminum
foil bags. Shakeing and heat drying does work but takes a while.
