Cleaning your rollers - HP 3015

My HP 3015 is making clunker noises, and I have dark skipping marks on the outside margins. I purchased the printer in February. Is it just a worn out cartridge or do I need to clean the rollers? I have filled the cartridge 3xs.

P.S. In a pinch, last week, I had to use regular duct tape instead of the aluminum duct tape. >>>I said, I was in a pinch!<<< I couldn't find that metal tape to save my life. Honey, next time you go to the Home Depot, could you......... Thank godness, he goes to the HD darn near everyday.

Hi Becca, do you get the same amount of pages with the refill?
Did you get the little thing to make the hole in the carthrige?
Thankyou for your time.

The dark skip mark is probably due to build up on the outside edge of the drum roller. You should be able to see it by open the flap on the cartrige. Best way to get that toner build up off is using the dust buster spay can, do it outside and becareful not point the spayer toward the inside of the cartrige.

Or what? I'll ending looking like one of the kids from "The Little Rascals" that blew up the pot belly stove?

Loved those old re-runs.

Becca are you refilling your cartridge? I was told one of the advantages to the HP is that when you replace the ink cartridge you are also replacing the drum at the same time. Maybe that is the problem.
