Yes, the smears seem to be independent of what I print. The image is
there, but covered in places by non-uniform "smears" of black. Yes,
they appear on the test page (there is only one) as well. Also, the
smears are fused to the paper...

OK, can you describe these smears a bit more? Are the
independant of what
you're trying to print (text .vs. graphics, for example). Do they occur
on the formatter test page (the one where it prints out the fonts, etc).
Do they occur on the engine test page (if you can produce one) -- the one
with vertical lines only on it?
I'm wondering if the engine is actually alright, and the problem is
actually due to memory errors on the formatter board (or the logic that
transfers the bitmap from the memory to the laser).
