    Red line on print Ricoh MP C2051

    I was so happy I had got my printer working fully that I printet out a manual, some 300 pages. But midway it gradually appeared a pink line across the printout.
    See pdf.
    What can the problem be?

    I have not touched the drum, yet...
    Is it done for or is it something that can be cleaned?

    I very carefully cleaned the assembly. I did not touch the drum, I swear I did not touch it

    Hmm, ok. It should be in the, what is the name of the list, where service life is listed. I'll have a look there when it was changed.

    But, just a question, every one of those 315 pages have the same blue line across it where the magenta line eventually appeared. Can there be some cross connection between colours when one colour is printed as a solid line on every page over several hundred pages?

    You mentioned that it had been unused for a while.
    RIGHT?
    Those rubber rollers degrade over time.
    Plus sitting unused ISN'T good those machines do better when run hard.
