My laserjet 6L has a light (i.e. absence of toner) streak going down
the page, about 1.5 inches from the left side. The streak is about
1/16" wide. I've tried swapping in a new toner cartridge (confirmed
good on another printer) but it didn't solve the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Possibly dusty scanner mirrors/lenses. Possibly a worn out transfer
roller. Check the transfer roller to see if there is a bild up of
paper dust or a worn part to the roller in the same place the streak
is on the paper.

Could be a piece of lint or foreign matter blocking the laser beam. If that
printer has a mirror that reflects the laser beam to the cartridge drum
try
cleaning it. Some printers have tool with a piece of felt on it that you
run across the mirror. Also clean the transfer corona roller with a lint
free cloth. Don't use any solution. And try cleaning the static
eliminator
teeth with a brush. Also check around the front opening of the scanner if
you can get at it without removing the covers. Hope this helps
