Color Laser MFP 179fnw shadow at bottom

[TheRealHamSelv]

I have the Color Laser MFP 179fnw printer. It have recently started to print shadow of the printed text at the bottom of every page.

I have tried cleaning it serval times accordingly to the guide here: https://support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c06216537

But the problem persists. 

I have tried printing from different computers (both Windows 10 and 11). I have replaced all the cartridges.

I'm using regular paper.

I have seen other posts on the forum with the same problem on the same printer. But could not find anyone providing a solution.

How do i fix this?

It seems like the only solution is to buy a new imaging drum and spend 140 USD not knowing when the problem will come back. It's almost half the price i gave for the printer 3 years ago.

I put the printer in the dumpster (only 1400 prints!), and bought a printer from another manufacturer.

i have the same ploblem, does changing the imaging dump solve the problem???

i have the printer since 3 years (bought new) and only print 270 pages.....

it does not seems it is a question of number of pages but number of years (2-3 years....)
