Well, I can't say this thread has really helped much.

I develop my prints, stop them in stop bath, fix them in fixer, and wash them thoroughly. If there's really no way to guess where the brown spots are coming from, there's nothing I can change.

Did you see what I said about air bubbles forming on the prints during washing? It happens all the time and can cause this problem.

I could also be deposits in your water. As I said earlier, I had this sort of issue in old place in california and I think that was the cause. The pipes were so corroded, If you didn't run the water for a week or so it was nasty brown when you turned it on.
