It's not the most common problem, and a toner cartridge problem or defect seems more
likely to come up.

Yes, but most page appearance type problems are not the sort of thing that will
necessarily be identified by an error on the LCD panel.

I think there are, but I'd have to confirm that.

O.K., they are as follows, also copied to the List in case anyone else is interested:

HP LaserJet Family Quick Reference Service Guide, Volume 1, May 1998 Edition. Manual
Part # 5021-8943. Approx. 353 pages. Covers about 23 models plus variants (e.g., 4,
4+, 4M, 4M+ etc.), starting with the "Classic" LaserJet on through the models 6L and
6P.

HP LaserJet Family Quick Reference Service Guide, Volume II, May 1999 Edition. Manual
Part # 5090-3390. Approx. 247 pages. Covers another 10 models and variants,
including the 1100, 2100, 4000, and 8100.

I'm guessing there may be later editions, covering later models. I called these
"pocket-sized", and I suppose that depends on the size of your pockets, but these are
6.5 x 4.25 inches. There was a vendor selling them on Ebay, and I vaguely recall
spending something like $15. plus shipping for both of these, though I could be off by
a few dollars. If you'd like the vendor's URL, or Ebay name, I will search for it and
post this later. These have already come in handy a few times, and no doubt will
again.

I just flipped through Chapter 10 of Volume 1, which covers a range of image defects,
including faded print, incomplete images, image registration problems, jaggy lines
either vertical or horizontal, all-black pages, and so forth. The description you
gave does not jump out at me, but I won't have a chance to read over this in any
detail until after this weekend.
