Default Brother maintenance apps?

In article ,
says...

I fix both Brother and HP laser printers. ...


In that case, can I ask your opinion about a problem with an HP color
laserjet 3500. I fixed the problem it was handed to me with. (Sticky
solenoid #4, determined by error message and explanation found on the
web.)

But then find that it prints smeary. You can see smears that arise from
the alignment patterns placed (but not meant to be printed) down each
side of the transfer belt. And also from previoius printing. So maybe it
is just inadequate gleaning of toner from the belt. But I cannot see how
to fix that, short of a new belt unit. Since this is just a freebie
being upcycled it does not warrant much, if any, expenditure...

A really dense colour picture looks great because the smears are hidden!

Cheers, Mike.
