Came home with a dumpster-find Laserjet 4 (with jetdirect board) yesterday.
Self-tests OK but prints with some minor repetitive ghosting on the pages
(it has almost a million pages on the clock).
There's some baked-on toner on the fuser roller which might[1] (most
probably!?) be the culprit, but gentle cleaning doesn't seem to get rid of
it; question is, how aggressive can I be with it? I don't know if the
blue-gray color is just a thin coating of something magical, or if it's a
hunk of solid metal which can be scrubbed.
I have a HP1300 I am contemplating replacing the fuser mylar on as
the mylar is torn. You can separately replace the wrapper on the roller

I can't yet endorse this company as I am still contemplating it ;)
It would be fun to take the printer apart and make it work. (FCVO)
This might be an option.
