Canon LBP 2900 Printer Repaired
Fault Symptom: Some portion of printing is missing from printout.
Most of time this problem is because of Toner Cartridge may run out of the toner ink. But some other factor may also cause like Bad imaging drum in cartridge, Bad Scanner Unit, Dust on scanner Lens, defect ECU Unit, Bad ECU Cables, Bad Fuser Unit and many more reasons are involved.
In this model self-test is possible only when printer is connected to the PC (other Models do have self-Test facility without connected to the PC). So re confirming the problem I took self test print out from my PC & got print out as sample photo given above.
So first step I replaced the working toner cartridge and took the print out but same problem that means cartridge is Ok & problem is with some other section in the printer. Now it required visual inspection by section wise as stated above. So I started dismantling the printer.
Opened fuser unit to check the Fuser Heater sleeve seems Ok.
Then opened scanner unit cleaned the lens & Mirror.
After cleaning process I reassembled the Printer & took the printout this time I got satisfactory Printout.
So here I found Cause of the problem was dust on the Focus lens & Mirror on the scanner motor inside the scanner unit.

I know from experience how much I dislike opening these mostly large office laserprinters. So hats off to you for accomplishing such a nerve wracking task and for fixing these dreadful printers. Why I only use 2 identical Brother inkjet printers at home. Which never needs any toner and neither produces nasty ozone.

Albert,
Now a days in this type of repair we required some working parts in spare for the troubleshooting.

I really hate inkjet printers: every time you need it, the cartridge head is dry and blocked..very annoying..

Marco,
Inkjet Printers are good if you have continuous printing workload infect also now a days you have choice of larger Ink tank option printer available in the market.
Ink get clog because liquid Ink is made for fast drying & it will get clog if your printer is not in use at least once in a week.

I would tend to try blast such duty units with a powerful blower such as the DataVac

Dear Sir Yogesh: Thanks for an informative article, I have never done any repair on a printer. I recommend Brother printers, even though I use HP. none of those are laser however.
