Problem with 2nd hand Samsung laser printer (ML-2165W)

Hi all , as mentioned in subject above.

at first printing was ok , thereafter , the printouts became like these. Circled in Red & numbered accordingly.

Seems like it double printed / streaks. Toner still have 91% remaining though

Drum needs to be replaced.

pirated toner?

-check the drum for damages
-check the drum for excess powder built up, if got.... shake the the toner to loosen the powder.
-check your printer inside...... if got black powder all over.... means your toner
leaked... need to change new toner.

Second hand printer like that one, have to be maintain.
The drum etc. overtime will accumlate dust and dirt from print.
However that model is very old so unlikely to order the mainteance kit.

So if you want to reuse the printer, you have to DIY to clean the internal
which isn't easier since a lot of component.
Is cheap buying second hand but repair wise may not be worth it.

So you have to decide whether to DIY or just get a brand new printer instead.
