HP LaserJet 4050 - Strange Marks

I have a Laserjet 4050 here and when people print to it there are marks down the right side of the page.  It appears as if it might be gear marks, but i'm not sure.  Anybody have this problem before or know how I can stop it from happening?

The printer is shared through a computer set up with Windows XP.

you can also try cleaning the gears with a dry or moist cloth
The marks down the right hand side are being caused by the fuser. If you remove the fuser and take a look at the rollers you will find a worn area on the fuser the same side as the marks, the marks are caused by the fuser not fusing all the toner to the paper then it fuses some of the left over toner on the next revelution. If you print blank pages from within word you will find the marks will disapear but will return as soon as you print anything with toner in that specific area.
