I have an older HP 4250 - it's been a workhorse.
The toner cartridge has started depositing a 1/2 inch line of toner vertically down the right side of each page.
I've carefully wiped it off several times, but it keeps coming back.
I need trouble shooting tips

There aren't many troubleshooting steps, you have a defective toner cartridge. Unless you have the plan to disassemble the toner cartridge and make a mess to finally figure out there is nothing you can do besides replacing the toner cartridge.
There are multiple causes of your issues, some of them might be a defective cleaning blade within the toner, or some dust and dirt buildup, or even a piece of paper or label stuck inside.
