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

> Hi Everyone

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

> cartridges and I have not tried buying a brand new cartridge to see if it
is

it

after

> printing regular things but it never goes away completely.
