    CP3505dn only printing black on bottom third of page

    Product: Cp3505dn

    Hello,
    recently had to replace the usual left cartridge locking device and right cartridge slide.
    Everything back up and running but the printer is only printing black (it seems) on the bottom third of each piece of A4 paper.

    Have tried:
    1. Stripping it down again to check MDA and work done on locking mechanisms correct including toner cam mountings etc - no problems obvious - note no printer errors are shown.
    2. 3 calibrations
    3. Toner change (all HP originals)
    4. NV reset and Engine check
    5. Various test pages all of which seem to be missing the black on the top two thirds.

    I'm flummoxed, common sense implies the cartridge slide work has caused the problem but I cant seem to resolve it in that area so I am hoping the description of only the lower third of a page being printed black raises some ideas.

    Thanks in advance.
    PS: I have noted some threads here already, made where similar problems have been seen after the same slide replacement which kind of backs up my thoughts but none of them have been resolved (and all are very old)CP3505dn only printing black on bottom third of page Size red.jpg
