Sounds like a problem with the drum. You may be able to clean it yourself,
but might need maintenance. $75-$150 (from Experience)

Subject: [PCBUILD] HP LaserJet 5M Problem
> Hi Everyone

> We are having a streaking problem down the middle of the paper about an
inch

> that doesn't do any good. We are currently using remanufactured toner
> cartridges and I have not tried buying a brand new cartridge to see if it
is

it

after
> printing bar codes for our delivery drivers and then gets better after
> printing regular things but it never goes away completely.
