Brother HL-1435 Laser Printer

I purchased this printer about 6 months ago. Initially the quality was great but last week, I noticed thick black streaks on all my pages. Now the streaks are so thick, that the printer is unusable. The drum is likely to blame, and many other users have reported similar problems.

Maybe I received a lemon, but don't take the chance. My friend has the previous model, and he is beginning to notice a deterioration in quality.

Although cheap, this printer will be unlikely to last.
