Suddenly, the printer I have in my house started to put a lot of stains in the paper.

@TomAoki no, it doesn't look like something like this. I've just been to a ink shop in the city center, they say the toner cartdriges is probably too old (7 years) and some of the rubber parts have become loosy. I'll try to clean and check it in the coming days. Meanwhile, we changed the ink in the office one and I'm now printing
@stefano
Ah, 7 years could hurt rubber parts.
I've experienced flooding tonors from disposed tonor bottle as of the broken sensor, thus, my previous comment.
Another example was because someone previously replaced the bottle didn't attached new one properly, thus, leaked. -

I wrote this series a time ago, based on similar dialogs:

I know things like these have been written a zillion times, but every voice is necessary to fight the oppression of these machines from hell

@angel exactly. Each story is unique. And terrible. Those machines are pure evil.

Suddenly, the printer I have in my house started to put a lot of stains in the paper. A lot of the toner seems to have dripped off the cartdriges and made a mess. I have no time to fix it today, so we rushed to the office. Here we have another printer - but it's not been used for months and, being an inkjet, it's printing in a very bad way.
I dislike printers.
They've always been the hardest part to diagnose and fix!

@ajlewis2 this is true. Unfortunately.

@stefano @TomAoki I've dealt with this a few times, to the point of purchasing a vacuum for cleaning up toner.
There are mylar/rubber/plastic parts on a toner cartridge that get brittle with age. Even brand new old stock - so you install it and toner goes everywhere
Ask me how I know 😁😈
In HP toners it is the scraper that cleans off the toner from the roller that tends to go bad in 7-10 years. So be careful when purchasing old stock at the swap meet or on fleabay/Craigslist
