Got me that tool that allows you to open the cartridge. Only $5

Hopefully it will be easier to open the cartridge.

Let me know as soon as you try it out, if it works I'll get one as well.

I have printed these 3 times and this is what the last printout looks like

Wow, impressive results. Looks promising. That black line is simply caked on toner the blade can't fully scrape off. Try opening the large door on the bottom of the cartridge, and turning the drum until you see it, then gently wipe it off. Do this in a low light area.

If for some reason it starts ghosting, and you don't feel comfortable replacing the blade, I just got a new toner cartridge in today that I could replace the blade on for you. Also, if you wanted to ever sell those pliers, let me know (Or let me know if they work!).

Yes, I have opened the door and wiped the toner off twice already but it keeps coming back. When I turn the drum I don't even see the caked on toner, the drum is clean

Well, since the line doesn't repeat, it doesn't seem like a drum issue. I'd keep running it and see what happens. Do you see any sort of faint line on the drum? Would be a grayish horizontal line if it is damaged.

I'm guessing that's a deformed PCR roller. I had replaced the wiper blade in a 98A cartridge and had the same symptoms. I took the PCR roller from another cartridge and swapped it in and my prints are now 100% perfect - like a brand new printer (LaserWriter 16/600 PS)

Now I know way more about how laser printers work than I ever thought I would!
