LeaserJet MFP M281cdw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The issue I am having with my Leaser Jet Pro MFP 281dfw is black toner marks and a black line running the length of the paper when printed. No other color is leaving marks but the black. I recently replaced the Black Cartridge with a new HP Black Cartridge. The black line runs on both sides of the paper in the same position. Could the cartridge be defective as the other colors are fine.
