Brother HL-1440 fixing roller

[bribieboy]

Hi

Does any one know what to use to clean the fixing roller on the
Brother HL-1440 laser printer? There appears to be some shiny
substance on it that causes the toner not to stick to the paper and
leaving white vertical lines.

Thanks

More likely, the "shiny substance" is actually a scratch in the teflon
coating, & you're seeing the aluminum of the actual roller. You need to
replace the roller &/or the fuser assembly.
