I seldom need to print stuff nowadays and long ago decided I would use a
local print firm to do any high quality prints of photos etc. as I was
fed up with inkjet printers' print heads blocking from lack of use.

So I bought a cheap samsumg clp320 colour laser which worked okay, not
very good colour quality but okay for the occasional print, replaced the
toners with a "starter" kit as they ran out, because the full size
toners were more expensive than the machine, but it started smearing
colours over the page. Now it has got low on yellow and of course won't
even print in black and white.

Not a problem as I inherited a HP 1300 black and white printer. This,
despite giving the toner a shake, now prints faintly in the centre
portion. This toner also costs more than a replacement printer.

I am considering just junking them but wondered is there anything I can
diy to clean the samsung to stop the toner smearing, is it a problem
with the drum needing cleaning?

Else any recommendations for a reasonable, preferably colour, laser I
doubt I'll ever need to print more than a ream of so again.
