HP Color LaserJet Pro M452dn
Microsoft Windows 11

Hp m452dn with hp cf410x black toner cartridge and color cartridges prints a shadow backround on everything i print out to the margins outside the margins are clear of ink and show white ( see pic below).  If i pull the hp410x cartridge and replace with a non-hp compatible black toner it prints clean with no shadow grey backround as seen in the lower pic which compares the two prints.  No driver changes - nothing but - only change black toner cartridge.
