HP Maintenance Kit for DesignJet 1050/1055

If your print settings are too dark, it could be detrimental to the life of the cartridge in the long run. It’s important that the density control of the machine be properly set to prevent the machine from pulling too much toner into itself.

If debris is the primary cause of failures, toner is the primary cause of debris. All toner cartridges release a small amount of toner powder into the machine. This is why it's important to clean the machine when you change the cartridge.

Make sure to keep your printer up to date by downloading drivers and patches from the manufacturer's site. Most manufacturers provide driver updates for their units which include patches that add fonts or fix incompatibilities.
