I've had a number of responses via e-mail for info on the Okidata
400/800, GCC BLP, PLP laser printers that have the dark smudge, 2-3"
down, generally in the center of the page on the first page printed. I
thought I would post it, since some of the e-mail addresses are not
working. 

The part No. for the EP cleaning blade kit is 14738. It's available 
from GCC Technologies, 800 422 7777 or (617) 276-8620. They provide a
technical bulletin with installation instructions, it's number is
PRO10. Of course they are very careful to claim this will solve the
problem for sure, I have had good
luck with it and it's certainly cheaper than replacing the drum. They
state that the EP cartridge has a life of 10,000 pages OR TWO YEARS! 
The blade degrades with time and the oxidents in the air and the ozone
generated during the printing process.

Okidata may have a similar kit since they are the same print engine and
therefore the same EP cartridge. Hope this helps.
