  • what's a drum of a laser printer?

    From Julieta Shem@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 21 18:12:46 2022
    So, I'm having to replace my drum. The printer has been saying
    ``replace drum'' for a while. I ignored it for as long as I could.

    I've put a new toner and it seems that that's not enough. My pages come
    out as if I'm running out of toner --- half the page does ---, though
    it's brand new. Is that because my drum has gone bad?

    Now I'm paying attention to the ``replace drum'' message. It's finally
    got my attention now. You know how users are.

    AKA Imaging Drum - Look on youtube for your printer name/model replace
    drum and see if it is a job you can DIY with a kit replacement. C+

    Good idea. Mine is a Brother HL-2360DW and it looks like the lecture at

    shows it's pretty easy to do. Thank you so much.

    Good question. Should I bother buying original toner and original
    drums? A couple of days ago I bought an original brother drum. It
    didn't seem expensive. But should I bother? Or are they all the same?

    Probably not much difference except cost but whatever feels comfortable
    and easy for you! C+

    To me, the original would actually feel more trustworthy, but I would
    actually guess that there's effectively no difference.
