Recently our printer started printing multi-colored horizontal lines on the entire page. The original document contents can be seen very faintly through the lines but as you'll see in the attachments, the prints are worthless. I found a similar post from a couple of years ago and someone suggested printing an 'engine' test page by opening and closing the front door 5 times. I did that, and one of the images below represents that test page - same thing on both sides.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for replying. According to the HP Smart app and the printer display the toner levels are near 75%. We've also never replaced them so they are genuine. That said, my wife said she may have messed something up recently when trying to get something to print. I pulled all of the toners out and re-installed them, and that may have cleared things up. I will be testing today.
