My printer has started having issues with color printing, where vertical bands of improper color appear.  From the diagnostics, it appears to only be affecting yellow toner cartridge, but there is no obvious damage.  Any suggestions? It's a relatively new HP cartridge, so I'm reluctant to replace on a whim.Printer.jpg

As described in the user manual, it is the magenta cartridge. See user manual "Improve print quality 103" Adobe Reader(113).

Print the supplies status page and upload here. And check HP Color LaserJet Toner Cartridges - Thin Coating of Yellow Toner or White Powder on Developer Rolle...
