Color laser printer off register, help!
Our color laser printer (Lexmark C510) is printing it's colors off register. Sort of like this.
A quick google search hasn't helped, and I am crunched for time. Has anyone ever successfully corrected this problem themselves? It prints fine, just off register. It was doing this just before I replaced the photodeveloper, on which part of the green shiny part had actually torn at the edge. Did this muck something up?? I just put in a brand new photodeveloper yesterday and that didn't help. The fuser says it has 60+% left. Power cycling it didn't help, neither did reseating all the toner cartridges. I have the sinking feeling it's toast. Halp!!

Har. Har.
Upon further inspection, when the pd is removed, the transfer roller has a black plastic covering that appears to have slightly walked off the roller. It's all cracked on the one side. I'd take a pic, but camera at home. Maybe tomorrow. I suspect this is what caused the other pd to tear, and that's why replacing it hasn't fixed the problem. $300 to buy a new transfer roller, plus the $225 we've already spent on the new pd. Grrrr. These things are worse than automobiles.

I can't believe I have been fucking with this printer for over 2 weeks. I needed to either a) replace the transfer unit for $350 or b) just buy a whole new (same) printer for around $550. We decided to just go with a new printer, and use this one for parts as needed since we just put a $200 part into it, plus have a full set of brand new toners for it.
Pffft. I tried to buy a new one, but all of the places that said they had it, in fact did not when I actually tried to purchase it. (It is a discontinued model). Then I found one on ebay for less than the cost of the transfer unit. I lost the auction. So, Monday, ordered the replacement part, and it came today. Without installation instructions. OK, guess I'm going to wing it. Turns out, it was an insanely easy fix. Open the back, unscrew 2 screws, pull out the old TU, put in the new one, screw it in and close the back door. I just finished installing it, and so far everything seems fixed. J.H.C that was a pain in the butt.
