Product: HP LaserJet Pro M404dw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Brand new HP LaserJet Pro M404 printing splattered toner on front and back of bottom of page.  Printed maybe 10 pages then printed pages showed splattered toner on front and back of the bottom of the printout.  Thick splattered drops of toner.  Cartridge registers full and looks clean.  Green drum looks clean.  Why is this happening?  Is their a diagnostic to check print quality?

If this is brand new and you are having issues I would create a case at support.hp.com and get them to replace the cartridge.
