HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276NW
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My Color LaserJet has started printing very small blue and pink spots on everything I print. Is this something easily fixable or a major repair. How can I correct the issue?

 

The printer is still essentially printing what I ask it to, but these blue and pink spots (tiny dash marks) will print as well.

I think you were saying cyan and magenta spots in which case this is often an indication of defective toner cartridges which there would be two wives that you have two colors appearing that are not supposed to be there.

However if it's actually dashed lines it could be an Electronics failure, a picture would be helpful.

Per your request, I posted a couple of pictures. They are quite small, but you should be able to see the spots.

I believe I saw some blue dots in the picture but I'm looking at it on my phone and it appeared to be consistent with a defective toner cartridge.

Question I have, since I have what appears to be both Cyan and Magenta spots, is it possible that both toner cartridges went bad at the same time? That’s seems to be a stretch to me.
