-  now that is very interesting to me - because I have a laser writer select
360 - which used to work very well - and then finally - it got it faded on
the right side of the page - even after cleaning - and a new toner
cartridge. Some repairman said that there was no way replace the other part
( it might be called a drum - but I don't know...)  and it was basically at
its life's end. 

 It would be interesting to find out if I could in fact repair this printer
relatively cheaply - because originally it cost $1,200.

 Any ideas How to repair?
