I have a HP Laserjet CP1525nw. Has been working fine for approximately a year. However, over the past few weeks, the pages have been coming out of the printer and are very streaky. The ink levels on the printer seem to be fine, but we have the issue consisting each week. On a Sunday, we will print about 6 pages, and the streaks will be on all of the pages. I have attached a picture below of what the printer is doing. Any leads or suggestions?IMG_6596.jpeg

I am having challenges seeing the issue. Is it fading from one side to the other? If so try gently shaking the cartridges to re-distribute the toner.

Streaks are of different colors and all down the page.

Looking on a bigger screen it really looks like you have ghosting which would in most cases be caused by a bad fuser. If you have color streaks you might have a failing transfer belt as well.
