Howdy Folks,

I have a trusty HP 5MP that's been going strong. After I changed my toner cartridge, it developed ink freckles on the paper. The freckles seem to reappear in its exact makeup in interval, leading me to believe it has to do with some static charges buildup on the drum that collects the dry ink particles. Is there a way to clean up this? I tried cleaning the toner little bit, but it didn't help.

Thank you for your help.

If you just changed it, it sounds like a faulty toner cartridge - I would return it

Is the drum part of the cartridge on that model?
