I have an OKI MC342N colour laser all-in-one printer.

It's quite a few years old now.

It prints perfectly in black and grey scale still but the colour isn't
good. A test print shows up Cyan as solid but yellow and (even worse)
magenta are streaky.

I have, as the manual advises, wiped the LEDs but that had no effect
at all, what else should I be looking at? Since the black and cyan
are OK I assume the drum must be basically OK.
