My Canon iRC3220 began printing very dirty copies - streaked yellow and gray. It looked like some part inside must be filled with used toner then smearing it in various locations on the printed sheets. Sometimes on the side, sometimes on the top, sometimes down the center, and sometimes not at all (and the copy would be good!), but most sheets (80%) were bad.
I had an independent "we-fix-em-all" tech look at it. At his visit the screen showed error code E0003 for the first time. We determined that the belts, drums, etc are clean - there is no accumulation of toner. Mechanical parts look good - I know there is a count of less than 5,000 since most parts were replaced when I purchased this used machine as a backup for other printers. Tech's first guess was that the hard drive is bad.
After some investigation the tech says he is being told that the error code means the power supply, formatter, and main motherboard are bad. Repair cost guess is $3,000+,- double what I paid for the machine a year ago.
What do my more educated specialists say about the problem?
Thanks for helping,
