Just trying to understand this as I have a new cartridge which I can
install if necessary.
When I print I intermittently get faded black marks on the page, they
are regular markings so obviously coming from one of the rollers, if
I do nothing the page sometimes comes out clean for a 30 page run
then I get some ghosting and it eventually reverts back to a clean page.
I have dismantled the cartridge a couple of times, emptied what I
think is a collector compartment for excess toner and cleaned all the
rollers.
It then prints ok for a number of pages and then goes back to
ghosting (intermittently) If I do a run of printing its either all
pages clean or all pages with ghosting. The ghosting is on one side
only about 3cms wide.
I have never had this before with a toner cartridge so hoping someone
can identify what the issue is.
I am just curious as I will replace the cart if the problem becomes
excessive. I am on approx 3500 pages with this cart and refilled
once, I normally get around 5000 before it stops working due to the
chip.
Corona wire ?
If you tell us the model number, there might be a nice
manual with a picture of what to clean.
I only had to clean corona wire a couple times at work,
so as a maintenance item, it doesn't come up all that often.
(I'm the guy that pulls all the crumpled paper
out of the printer, when nobody else could be bothered.)

Samsung ML-2240 laser printer.
I have measured the ghosting image and it repeats every 38.2 mm which
would be approx a roller of 12.16 diameter, all of which I have
previously cleaned.
I cured a similar problem in my color laser by replacing the whole (3rd
party)(cyan) toner assembly and drum.
I think you need a new drum. Sometimes these rebuilt cheapos are not up
to snuff.
you can get a new rebuilt cheapo for less than £20 on amazon/ebay/etc
