Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I get black marks on pretty much everything I print in  my HP M452dw printer.  The marks are sometimes lighter or darker, and there seems to be no pattern if they are lighter or darker.  Some pages will have faint or small ones, but most they are quite noticable.  They are typically at about 2" from the left side of the page in a vertical line, with about 7/8" between each mark.  The mark itself is vertically thin, but about 1/8" wide.  There is sometimes a second vertical line about 3/4" inch from the left side as well.  I have tried everything I can think of in terms of cleaning the printer to get rid of this.  Does anyone have any idea what it is and how to get rid of it (or the part that is likely offending)?  Image attached below.
