HP LaserJet MFP Pro M148dw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone! I have a printing problem with my HP LaserJet MFP Pro M148dw
After printing I see that in the sheet there are small black dots spaced at regular intervals (see image).
I can't understand the cause of the problem.
Can anyone help me please?

Thank you all

Those are likely cause by a defect on the drum unit. You can Google repetitive defect ruler for your printer and you will find a list that tells you based on spacing which component is bad.

Thanks for reply  🙂

Those blackheads are 26mm apart. What can it depend on and above all, how can I solve it? Can I solve the problem by myself or you suggest to contact HP support?

I bought this printer about 30 days ago...
