Waste toner.  Keep it drained or you'll get a messy overflow.  You could
try recycling, bearing in mind it's not good for the printer but it's
going to die soon anyway.

Yep - the drum.

Moncrieffs in Vic Park are the agent.  You'll find that the parts are
dear though.  You need toner regularly, a drum less regularly and a
fuser probably about now.

Another thing mine did was the exit rollers turned soft and gooey and
stuck to paper.  After wiping the mess off with metho I chopped bits of
fuel hose for very economical replacements.
