Hi I have a recently purchased HP LaserJet MFP M477 that is printing yellow, magenta and cyan dots down the left side of the page in the same distance from each other. I tried cleaning several times with no changes. I looked to see if there was a software update and there is none. I checked the toner cartridges and as far as I can tell there is no damage.

Hi mychelleblake,
I can see only cyan spots in this sample page. Replacing the cyan toner cartridge will fix this problem.
I hope this will help,
Cheers!

It could be possible, especially if there are non hp genuine toner cartridges. I would suggest to replace one at first to see if that eliminates the dots of that colour, eg. change the black first which is the most commonly used.
