The problem went away for about a business week 5 days but then came back with the same issue that I began with. I've also cleaned the PH unit, as well as, the transfer belt, behind the transfer belt, and each drum individually.

Sounds like an inverter problem. If the power supply is internal replace the capacitors coming out of the voltage regulators. These are usually 1000mf and/or 470mf. If that doesn't do the trick look up the numbers on the 8-pin chips that drive the secondary transformers on the inverter to see if they are getting the right voltages.
Good Luck!

Hi George,
It sound's like an ink-feed issue:
1) Dirty heads, even after cleaning
2) No-ink or poor quality ink
3) Damaged head: some are part of the cartridge, some are not
4) Air bubbles in ink
The test page is typically not as hi-res nor as saturated as a
photo print. The hi-res photo puts the greatest demand on the print head.
The color lines you see are actually lines of missing color,
where the head has failed to deposit ink, so one or two primary
colors are missing from the complete picture.
For example missing yellow will make a blue line.
Missing magenta will make a green line
Missing cyan will make a red line.... etc..
Clean the heads again and again, print again and again,
hoping to flush the system.
BUT, keep in mind that cleaning wastes huge amounts of
ink and tiny little cartridges of ink cost more than many new printers.

Most likely your drum unit is worn out. If it reaches the yield of 50k or more, it starts to develop grooves in the drum and toner gets stuck in the groove and is applied to your pages. If you have a service company, they can change it for you. We sell the drum for $220.

Hi 56tbird.
The answer you got from Dell was partially correct.
It is the Magenta Developer that is causing your problem, however, you can replace this part for less then the printer if you do the work yourself.
I have successfully instructed other on replacing the developer units, although you will have to procure the part.
This is one of the 4 color assemblies you see when you remove the imaging drum.
The part number for the Magenta Developer is M6090
The first thing to do is price the part. I usually suggest doing a google search for the part number. you will find many resellers that way.
you might also try a search on Ebay for the part number as well.
If you decide to purchase the part, if you somewhat mechanically inclined, you should be able to replace the part without a problem.
I can give you detailed instructions on how to change the developer if you decide to go that route.
Thanks,
Cory
