Ricoh SP C260l random black spots on printed side

[J0ckie]

Hello,

I have tried several times to clean my printer because black spots appear over the printed side of paper.
There does not appear to be a regular pattern, i.e. no two sheets of paper have the same pattern of black spots but there does appear to be a longitudinal pattern.
I printed a blank paper and have attached a photo of it and a close-up photo from a portion of another printed sheet.
This is a colour laser printer but I have not noticed there being any other coloured spots than black ones.
Can anyone on this forum guide me as to what I should be doing to fix this issue, please?

You could have something stuck in the printer causing the spots. Have you tried to clean the printer to remove ? If you require a price on printer service email (e-mail address removed) confirm your area and can confirm the cost or a service in your area
