Hi all. I've got a HP 4350 that prints horizontal lines across pages down entire page. Lines are 1/4" apart with random splotches on the lines down entire page. The actual printed image is very faint in the background. If you print an Engine test, the lines that normally run vertical, only print at top of page, then fade quickly. The horizontal lines are still there on Engine test. Same spacing and splotches. Tried different toner cartridge with no change. Tried different transfer roller, no change. I thought the toner ground spring was bent out of position as they had said removing toner was difficult at best. Found toner tension spring on left side to be very loose. Tried re-bending it and also total tear down to try to repair it. No change.
Question is: It could be the LVPS/HVPS unit or the DC Controller (which I think is aka Engine board), I just don't know which or if there is something else like a broken spring contact I can't see.
Any ideas?
Thanks
