Re: Ricoh MPC301

Possible that the auger inside the PCU is bad or something is wrong with the toner bottle drive or the toner hopper is faulty.
Sometimes the plug from the old bottle is involved if the mechanic didn't inserted it back to the bottle during replacing.

If the PCU is bad usually the toner entrance is totally full of toner up to the opening/shutter - that's easy to inspect.

I'd suspect broken drive gears in the back of pcdu, seen it many many times
Time for a new pcdu assy imo
