LaserJet Pro
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My laserjet pro is used for black printing only. However, it appears that it must contain 4 toner cartridges to print. No matter what I print now, there is massive toning and banding of color toner. I have run several cleaning options. What can I do? I don't want to spend a lot of money replacing cartridges when I really only use black. I hate to put the printer in a landfill if there is a simple solution. Can somebody tell me why this is happening, and what I can do?
