Product: HP LaserJet Pro M203

We have a new HP LaserJet Pro M203 that started smearing ink on the paper edges. Printer only has ~200 pages printed with it. 

Screenshot of the supplies status page:

Inspecting the fuser drum, I can see a thick deposit of toner powder on both ends of the printing area.

The smears get worse if I use the duplexer to print both sides..

 

Is there anything I can do to fix this, or should I just discard the printer?
