Product: HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My MFP 179fnw is not long out of warranty and has not been overused, it prints with black streaks almost down the whole page and a shadow of the printing down the lower half of the page.

Please help to fix this.

Thanks.

Something similar happened to me but I had a leaking refilled toner.

 

There is a discussion here and an example post is referred to.  The youtube video shows the user disassemble and clean the toner.
