My HP laserjet 100 M175 printer has started printing very small dots in the toner colors in the far right margin. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a Brother not HP but on a Brother you have to clean the wire by slidING the rod on the toner cartridge and make sure it locks.

I am not quite sure, because my printer is having some problems. And I am not sure as to what is the exact cause with the printing. So, I don't want to steer you wrong, ok.

I would contact the seller and return it. I am still doing really well with mine. Often, when toners like this are produced in high volume, their are duds occasionally. I am certain the seller would be happy to remedy the issue with you. I have not had any issues like this yet, In fact, it worked right out of the box. Also always double check the cartridge number and model number. I hope this helps. If you communicate with therm they should fix this... Take care.

I also had this problem occur just outside of the warranty period. It started with small yellow streaks. Then, when I went to replace the cartridge, it sprayed yellow ink over the inside of the entire printer.

Well, I took out the Color Ink and the printer just sits with an error message. A color ink cartridge must be in place. The only thing I can suggest is to let the color cartridge run out of ink, then choose a "faxable print" option in the program if it's available. You can try the greyscale option, but I don't know if the greys use the black (lighter) or if they use the color ink. If you already own this printer, play around with these options. If you HAVEN'T already bought this, try a different printer. If you do A LOT of printing, you may want to consider a LASER printer. The BLACK ONLY ones have become quite affordable and the toner roll lasts a very long time. Well, I took out the Color Ink and the printer just sits with an error message.

Yes - I had the same issue. I did the following and got WAY more life out of them. there are sensors on the sides of the toner cartridge (it might be the drum). I covered them with black tape and then reset the toner through the menu. This video shows the reset process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wv80u_NA_Q

I have a the same problem except that I get a blue streak down the right side. I have done multible auto cleanings and no change. I ended up replaceing the cyan cartrige and also the magenta cartrage wich was leaking. With HP cartrages.

Yes, the printer has four separate toner cartridges - BYCM. Note that when the printer stops printing because the software is reporting one of the toner cartridges is empty, it may not be true. The printer software uses page counting to gage the toner. One dot on a page is all it takes to count as a page. Just reset the page count for that cartridge and you may find as I did you have several hundred pages left in the "empty" cartridge.

This just started happening on a hp 2605dn as well. Brief seach seems to show that, though not common, it is an issue. No solution found short of returning the printer.. yet. Have written to HP about this. I am waiting for an answer

That's a good question! I have two of these printers and both have been nothing but trouble. I have one that can't see the full black cartridge now. I just read the note about contacting Lexmark support. I'll have to give that a try. Best of Luck!

Make sure the inside of lid(white plastic) has not become dirty. I accidently swiped mine with a pen one time and it shows up on come copies, even after scrubbing the mark. Could use a cleaning/whitening product if it appears dingy. Good luck with the support group, I am still trying to find out if I can view a fax(s) I have sent. My old HP printer kept the log and let me access, view or print whatever I had sent. Nice option, no so much with this new one.

Missing colours sounds like a clogged printhead. As for the cartridge...I don't know why

brother won't do anything to help.I had just brought my toner from amazon ,it streaked on the right side of the page. I called brother and they told to mail it back to them and they would send postage(which that did not)they sent back the same one back,I again called them back , they said it was empty and would not replace it .I showed that I just got it and if it was empty that is the way they packed. it they wouldn't do anything about it. so a total loss.

I'm sorry but I have no idea as to how to defeat the false "low toner" message. Good luck in finding the answer.

My new printer has not printed even one decent photo. They have all been very low quality and I am starting to think my printer is defective in that respect as HP usually does such a good job with photos. Regular printing is very good.

My printer is different(dcp-7065). When I installed, I used the old cartridge holder and only replace the toner cartridge. There is a small paper in front of cartridge head(printing), make sure you pull it out. Thanks.

Ours has done the same thing--not happy with this printer at all. Try taking a pencil eraser and clean the sensors on each cartridge --you don't have to remove them as you can reach them by opening the machine in front. Then restart and see if that helps. Ours has had to have this done several time.
