Ever since we replaced the toner cartridge in our laser printer there are small toner smudges on the left hand side of each sheet printed out.

I'm not an expert on these things but it looks like the problem might be related to the drum, as the smudges are consistent down the page if that makes sense.

Is it easy to clean the drum or do I buy a new drum?

I've cleaned the corona wire or whatever it's called several times but it hasn't made any difference.

It's a Brother HL-2030.

Just did a test page print, doesn't smudge any further when I wipe it (so the fuser is OK I am guessing)?
