How do I get rid of horizontal streaks HP LaserJet 3200m
copies and scans?

Whether I copy or scan, I get horizontal streaks like this:

What is the cause and solution for these horizontal streaks?

Does the printer menu have an option to clean and calibrate the print
heads? I'd try there, first.


I don't believe laser printers have print heads.


Do you get the same streak when you use it as a printer instead of a
copier? If so it is a print engine problem. If not it is a scan engine
problem. Almost 100% of scanning problems that produce a line the
length of the scanned document are caused by a little spot of dirt on
the scanning element - it looks like a class bar across the paper path
- check for a spec of dirt - possibly white-out on the class. Tou
might not be able to see it but you should be able to feel it -
scratch it off and the line will dissappear.
