Printing is too light/faint

[rwjames]

Pages that print are too light/faint, such that you cannot barely read it.  The printer is relatively new (less than 6 months old).  We thought perhaps we needed to replace toner but the levels are still quite high.  Any thoughts on why this is happening?  are there settings that need to be adjusted?
