  Great.  Now that Furuta is away we can talk about toner cartridges again ...

  I just put the third cartridge in our LaserWriter about 2 weeks ago.  The first
  2 cartridges were packaged by Apple, and the print quality was great.  The new
  cartridge is a Canon, #R34-0002-000 (a previous message from Brian Reid mentioned
  R34-0002-001, I believe).  About every 10th page or so (it seems quite random),
  we get a small area about 10mm wide and 15mm high (the height varies more
  than the width) that is quite washed out (i.e., the toner is very light in that
  area).  The position of these spots can be anywhere vertically on the page, but they
  seem to be confined to a fairly narrow vertical band slightly to the right
  of the center of the page.  Shaking and rocking the cartridge doesn't seem
  to help.

  Has anyone else experienced this?  Please don't tell me its the cartridge --
  I have a small stock of them.
