Update for you, the main problem was the transfer belt, but there was still the horizontal banding, so I replaced the image drum and the transfer belt from the donor printer and bingo, a nice clean printout, so I call that a win.
Now I have another printer to fix if I can. I plugged it and...
Just received am email informing me the donor printer should be with me by the end of the day tomorrow (Tuesday) so hopefully we shall have a solution to the problems and also the definitive answer to the problem, fingers crossed that arrives without getting smashed in the shipping process.
Not a problem, I'll post my results gladly, it might just help another poor soul out there. That was the thing that I have noticed during my Google searches that a lot of people ask questions and others try to help them out, but it seems that very few of the original posters ever come back to...

Hi, I have this printer but it keeps printing pages with horizontal lines and smudges in black and sometimes yellow the whole width of the page. When I print a 2nd page, it is possible to see a faint image of the previous page on the paper as well. I have fitted a new set of Samsung branded...
