HP Color LaserJet CM6040f Multifunction Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello. We have a problem with color printing on laser jet 6040f. While black and white documents in general look fine. Colors on pictures are very dimm and distorted. I tried to shake toner but it did not help whatsoever.

Printer is quite old so I assume it might be a problem with one(or more)of the components.
