Samsung CLP 325W Black Page

Oh no! I just cleaned my Samsung CPL 325W printer because it was had faded print. I guess I screwed something up, because now it prints a virtually black page. it has some colored crayon like stripes on it.

I looked around the web, but didn’t find any solutions, any ideas what I should try?

@rcull how did you clean it and what did you clean?

Just noticed, I answered this a couple of days ago, it looks like it didn't take:(

I dismantled it as far as the set of rollers under the drum. I used compressed air and a vacuum cleaner to clean it.

Thanks

Update (10/22/2019)

I tried cleaning it again, when I printed, it gave about a one inch strip down one side that printed properly with the rest black. This indicated a problem with my cleaning.

The next time I cleaned it, it went back to a black page. After several more cleanings, I now have a printer which works properly again! :)

I have the same issue. It was printing faded before now all dark like you. Any what went wrong before and what was different during the last cleaning that saved it.
