Then it is likely the fuser assembly. I know that HP recommends replacing
theirs every 200,000 pages.

I will read through the list and have a go
I did manage to replace the laser a while back after a printhead failure

Trying a new toner cartridge is a good idea. However, I have seen this
issue before and it was the fuser assembly.
Does the printer have a high page count (like 200,000) ?
Also:
----------------------------------
Repetitive Defects
Possible Cause Recommended Action
1. Toner cartridge is damaged. If the
defect repeats at any of the following
intervals and in the direction of paper
movement, it is associated with a
component inside the toner cartridge. See
figure 7-10 on page 408.
Inspect the drum for scratches or damage.
Replace the toner cartridge.
2. Transfer Roller has toner on it. If defects
occur on the back of the page at intervals
of 61mm (2 3/8 inches), the Transfer
Roller may be dirty. This problem
sometimes corrects itself after a few
pages.
Clean the Transfer Roller using a dry,
lint-free cloth. DO NOT touch the Transfer
Roller with your fingers. If the problem
persists, replace the Transfer Roller
Assembly
3. Rollers are dirty. Any dirty roller in the
paper path may result in a repetitive print
defect.
Examine and clean the rollers in the paper
path..
4. Fusing Assembly is dirty or defective. Clean the Fusing Assembly using
alcohol.
If the problem persists, replace the Fusing
Assembly.
5. Gears are worn, causing slippage or
jumping.
Inspect the gears driving the toner
cartridge and the Fuser. Replace the Main
Drive Assembly if necessary.
6. Paper does not meet specifications.
The surface of the paper may be too
coarse, causing repeated marks.
Try a different media or paper lot.

Is there a website that will explain which faults produce which printing
problems I.E ghosting of the image down the page ETC I have a laser but
it has a few printing faults but I don't know which bit is causing it
and I don't want to buy a new toner if it is something else causing it
