Although I have not seen that specific printer for a while,
with laserprinters in general, that type of problem is usually
related to the cartridge.
I didn't know that they made a PLW that late--and there were
a bunch of models so you might check your manual on what you have.
Here are some things that you might do if you can't swap the
cartridge: a) turn down the print density with the print density
slider thingy on the inside. Sometimes a cartridge just starts
dumping toner and this tightens it up; Look in your manual though--I
think that model, you have to turn toward the wide side of the
symbol--not the narrow side--and this is totally counterintuitive;
b) clean everything inside including the wire in the cartridge and
the wires that twist across the thingy in the middle;; c) rock your
cartridge--end to end first and then front to back; 4: blow it out
with air and run clean paper through it.
I am acquainted with versions of that printer and they last
quite a while, but Buy a used Laserwriter II NTX with appletalk and a
life expectancy measured in geological time.
