page count is 5300 but that's the life of the printer.
Perhaps I'm on my 4th toner cart ...at most.
No idea what is expected..
The page count doesn't appear to be high enough for a bum fuser.
" If it's a worn drum where the toner isn't sticking to it, the areas of partial print should repeat on the page based on the circumference of the drum. "
hmmm, sounds a bit like what I'm seeing.
maybe should try a new toner cart.
I'm gonna try calling Canon tmrw, not that I expect much support since they sell printers and it is old.
At 5300 pages it's still a baby, I wouldn't suspect the fuser either. I searched on the toner cartridge, and Canon says 2000 pages with 5% coverage, and a price of $87, hope you can find a cheaper source, or maybe generic cartridge. So, maybe it's time.

my last generic was $12 and works just fine - LOVE this printer
