ghosting on my canon imageClass D1350 black & white laser

[nickdu]

Seems I have what they call ghosting on my canon imageClass D1350 b&w laser.  I can see faint text of other parts of a document where they should not be.  My toner is pretty old I assume as I never remember changing it to so put a new toner in.  Then went through the process of cleaning the fixing unit.  I still see ghosting.  And the page that was printed when stepping through the procedure for cleaning the fixing unit has what I assume are extraneous streaks.

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Nick

While I might be looking to upgrade, not sure Canon is on the list due to this issue.  First of all, it has the issue.  Ok, maybe not a big deal, every product can have issues.  Second, Canon is not interested in fixing it.  I don't want to throw this in a landfill.  I would rather spend a couple hundred dollars to get it working, if that's all it would take, and give it away as opposed to throwing it out.
