HP Laserjet Pro 200 model M276mw - out of warranty, so no HP support....
Problem is missing and/or faded printing on the left half of all documents, whether printing or copying, same results.
images attached.
Things I have tried...
1. replaced all 4 toner cartridges with new ones
2. cleaned and inspected the transfer belt...no obvious issues
Any ideas what could cause this to happen suddenly? Advice appreciated.

Is the print on the edges of the blank areas well bonded? This almost looks like it could be some sort of fuser issue. That there is toner there on the cleaning page suggests a possible issue with something in the color, but as you say you have already replaced the toner cartridges. Open the back door and look at the roller that is mounted in the back door, is it clean or polluted with toner?

Thanks to Repairatrooper for pointing me in the right direction. When I opened the back of the printer I noticed the secondary transfer roller appeared dirty. I removed it and cleaned it with alcohol. Reinstalled it and the printer prints like new again!
